Notes

2006-12-16 - Identified through on-line information from Gaspar Schulek. -- The organ is voiced softly, for residence installation. -Database Manager

2007-03-25 - Updated through on-line information from Phil Rutledge. -Database Manager

2010-01-09 - Updated through on-line information from Gaspar Schulek. -- There is a Positiv to Hauptwerk Coupler and a Hauptwerk to Pedal Coupler (Drawknobs) History of the Organ. Originally it was purchased by the Atlantic Christian College approximately in 1951. It was stored in the original shipping crates until approximately 1960, when Mr. Roy H. Carey, Jr purchased it and moved it to Carlsbad, NM. A Rieger technician assembled the organ, and Mr. Redman organ-builder carried out maintenance. In August 2005 I purchased the Organ. I went to Carlsbad, NM. The organ was disassembled with the help of Mr. Redman, it was loaded in a rental track and I drove it to Point Roberts, WA to my residence. In Point Roberts I reassembled and tuned the Organ. It is in a good playing condition. -Database Manager
