Notes

2007-05-30 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager

2008-03-21 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2012-06-22 - Updated through online information from Tim Johnson. -- I helped with the installation of this organ as an interested amateur. The organ is fully functional but is ready for replacement of the foam rubber components and some console work. All pipework is in place and in good condition. Metal pedal division pipes repaired by Schantz several years ago due to drooping languids. Air leaks due to longitudnal seams not being soldered at the time of installation have been resolved. Further work awaits funding. -Database Manager
