Notes

2007-06-20 - Identified through online information from Stanley R. Scheer. -- The large pedal stops, Swell and Choir are installed in chambers. The Great and Positiv are on cantilevered chests in the chancel. The Gallery Great Organ is unenclosed in a gallery at the back of the nave. See attached specifications for additions and changes since installation. -Database Manager

2013-06-18 - Updated through online information from Sam Cherubin. -- A 32' Sub-Bourdon (digital) was added to the Pedal division and was installed by Peterson Electronics at some point after the installation was complete. -Database Manager
