Notes

2007-08-23 - Identified through on-line information from Stephen Hall. -- The entire organ was under expression; the swell in one chamber, the choir, great and pedal in another with the shutters concealed behind draperies. The organ was completely rebuilt by Kinsey-Angerstein in 1974, the Kinsey-Angerstein version was sold to Grace Lutheran in Clarksville TN in 2002, and Fiske Opus 119 was installed. -Database Manager

2011-12-26 - Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- At least some of the prepared for ranks were installed prior to the 1974 rebuild: The Pedal Diapason 16-8 unit, and at least a Gemshorn Celeste and 4 Harmonic Flute on the Choir. The old choir organ was disassembled when I saw it in 1974, but I do remember those two ranks. -Database Manager
