2004-10-30 - Church built c. 1893. If the name plate reads Pomery, OH, the organ must be somewhat later, as Barckhoff moved to Pomery in 1900. Manual compass 61 notes, pedal compass 27 notes. 2 composition pedals. Couplers activated by pushbuttons on the keyslips. The tremolo affects the entire organ. -Database Manager
