Notes

2007-04-20 - Identified through on-line information from Tim Jones. -- Console replaced in late 1940s by Möller. (Möller used a "rebuild" number "R285" stamp on console. Not known whether or not the organ was rebuilt at that time.) Chimes added at some point. Chests releathered, reservoirs replaced in the 70s and 80s. Console rebuilt 2005 by Schaedle, Cincinnati, Ohio. -Database Manager

2023-03-20 - Moller used R-series numbers for rebuilds; if it was a console-only job, it would have had an M-series opus number. -Jeff Scofield
