Notes

2007-06-03 - Identified through online information from Stanley R. Scheer. -- The organ is installed in a chamber with no casework or visible facade pipes. -Database Manager

2020-11-11 - All divisions are on 2 1/2" of wind. Pressure is written on the reservoir in both chambers. Wind is supplied through a 0.35 H.P. Meidinger Blower -Roman Lizak

2020-11-11 - CORRECTION: Wind for the organ is supplied by both a 0.35 H.P Meidinger Blower in the Great chamber which was most likely added later. There is also an original Casavant manufactured 1/2 H. P blower in the Swell chamber in a sound proof box. -Roman Lizak
