Notes

2007-03-28 - Identified through information from Louis Playford. -- When I looked at the instrument in 1984 the console was disconnected and in the parish hall and a Rodgers was in use. Jim Nord, who is still the organist there, gave me information on the unification. I did go into the chamber. This organ was sold and replaced by a Holtkamp tracker. -Database Manager

2007-03-29 - Updated through on-line information from Louis Playford. -- This organ was installed in a chamber and spoke into the right transept. The pedal Diapason 16, which was metal, was mounted horizontally on a wall in the chamber. The entire organ was under expression. The Holtkamp which replaced it is installed freestanding in the left transept. -Database Manager

2023-02-28 - Replaced in 1985 by 2/29 Holtkamp Job Nr. 1996. -Jeff Scofield
