Notes

2007-04-29 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- The two-rank, four-stop Antiphonal is located on the right wall of the balcony. Due to collapsing pipework, the bottom octave of the 32' Trumpet was replaced with pipework by A. R. Schopp's Sons via Barger & Nix. -Database Manager
