2010-12-30 - Updated through online information from Charles Kennedy. -- Minor tonal alterations were made in 1988 by Guzowski and Steppe: The original Great Sesquialtera was relocated to the Choir division as an independent 2-2/3' and 1-3/5' (replacing, respectively, a 2' Octave and the original Choir 1-3/5' Terz), and was in turn replaced by a new Cornet II of larger scale. The console was updated with a new combination action by Solid State Logic in 1992. Tonal and mechanical renovation of this organ (with some additions) by Quimby Pipe Organs is to be completed in the summer 2011. -Database Manager
