Notes

2007-05-30 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Pedal division has no independent registers. The Great has three prepared-for registers. The Swell has two prepared-for registers. The entire 3-stop Antiphonal is prepared-for. When completed, the organ will have 18 registers, 25 speaking stops, 24 ranks, and approximately 1,500 pipes. -Database Manager

2008-03-29 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- 10-rank Antiphonal added (believe by Schantz, date unknown), along with originally prepared-for stops in main organ; the console was renovated at that time. The main organ is located in the north transept and the Antiphonal is mounted in a case on the rear half-wall that separates the nave from the narthex. -Database Manager

2015-02-13 - Updated through online information from Reggie Hulsey. -- The antiphonal was not added by Schantz, but was completed in July, 2006 under the direction and voicing of Burton K. Tidwell. The windchest and casework were built by R. L. Hulsey and D. Scot Williams, parishioners. -Database Manager
