2007-03-22 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ has been altered a little over the years, but it had some amazing pipework in it. When I saw and played the organ on Dec. 28, 1988 - it had 42 independent registers, 48 speaking stops, and number of ranks is uncertain since the number of ranks on the Great and Swell mixtures was not engraved and I didn't have access to the chambers. The organ was replaced with a new Ott tracker (Opus 104) 2005. -Database Manager
2011-12-31 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Three ranks were retained by the Ott firm for their opus 104 installed here in 2005. -Database Manager
2015-04-18 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. -- The nucleus of the Guenther organ was the Aeolian, including the substantially altered but attractive 3 manual Aeolian console. Most of the pipe work was on massive electro-pneumatic slider chests. Their chest design did not use pallets, but large pneumatically actuated butterfly valves. Stop action was also pneumatic. <br>In 2005 several reclaimed ranks of pipes went to Trinity Episcopal Parish to complete the specification of Marceau Op. 4. It is believed that Martin Ott retained two pedal stops for inclusion in the new organ. These were the 16' Open Wood Diapason (Offenbass), and the Subbass. <br>Unfortunately the Aeolian console, which was nailed to the floor, had to be removed in many pieces and could not be salvaged. -Database Manager
