Notes

2007-05-06 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was further tonal changes to the existing W.W. Kimball Co. instrument that had been installed used in 1917 and electrified by Balcom and Vaughan in 1947. The 1965 work consisted of further tonal changes, releathering of the original Kimball chests, some new chests, and a new console. It is likely that the large facade was removed at this time as well. -Database Manager
