Notes

2007-08-28 - Identified by Jeff Scofield through information in Möller factory documents. -Database Manager

2009-05-13 - Updated through on-line information from Christopher Kiepper. -- The Moller organ at Westminster has undergone major restoration to pipework that collapsed due to inferior metal. We also are in the process of replacing the control system and upgrading the instrument of 30 ranks, over 3 manuals. We removed the grill metal blocking the sound in the chambers and exposed the Great Division pipework. The sound from this organ is absolutely amazing. -Database Manager

2009-10-22 - Updated through on-line information from Christopher Kiepper. -- The organ has had a new 3 manual console installed. The mechanics of Möller were rebuilt, cleaned and rewired. Additional ranks will be added to the instrument as funds allow. -Database Manager
