Notes

2007-06-16 - Identified through on-line information from Stanley R. Scheer. -- The contract for Op. 2554 involved rebuilding Op. 863 (1920) with electric action and a new console. The pedalboard compass is 32 notes, but there is no mention of the addition of two additional treble pipes to the pedal stops for notes 31 and 32. The church dissolved on 5/23/2000. -Database Manager

2020-10-30 - The organ was relocated to Spring Creek Canadian Reformed Church in Tintern, Ontario. -Jeff Scofield
