Notes

2007-05-31 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. [Sources: Möller opus list and Knoxville AGO web site] -Database Manager

2008-03-29 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Prepared for 3-division, 19-rank Antiphonal; two rare items concerning this organ: It was one of only three 3-manual Möllers with side jamb rocker-tablet stop controls; it has a 32' reed - very rare in those days for anything but the larger organs. The console was replaced by Barger & Nix in 2000. -Database Manager

2012-04-30 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Originally installed with 18 ranks; the prepared-for 18 ranks were added by Möller in 1961; revoicing and some tonal changes made by Barger & Nix in 1984. -Database Manager

2021-09-22 - Relocated to a church in North Dakota in 2021. -Jeff Scofield
