2022-10-15 - The instrument was silent for many years. I had it tuned in the summer of 2021, and it can be heard most any Sunday morning, the console is original and in need of updating. Tuning is handled by Pipe Organ Specialties out of Meridian MS, light tuning and maintenance I handle myself. -Jonathan Stroud
