Notes

2007-05-03 - Identified through on-line information from Stanley R. Scheer. -- Located in front in one position with no visible pipework -Database Manager

2012-11-02 - Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- By 2000, the organ was only partially usable, due to mechanical issues that had developed over time. In 2007, the instrument was mechanically restored by Casavant, and the console upgraded to include multiple memory levels for the combination action. The Pedal and Great are exposed in a recess at the front of the room, with the Swell (right) and Choir (left) enclosed behind decorative wooden screens. The moveable console is stored in a similarly screened alcove beneath the choir when not in use. This configuration has been in use unchanged since 1960. -Database Manager

2015-05-14 - Updated through online information from Jeremy Chesman. -Database Manager

2020-11-02 - The console was shipped to the factory in January 1981 and was rebuilt, including new keyboards, and refinished. -Jeff Scofield
