Notes

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

2008-05-13 - Updated through online information from Haig Mardirosian. -- The organ was removed by Orgues Letourneau prior to the installation of their opus 68 (2000) in the Church of the Ascension and Saint Agnes. The refurbished console and wind chests along with some new pipework were used to create a rebuilt instrument for Eglise Christ-Roi, Levis, Quebec, by Letourneau. -Database Manager
