Notes
2008-03-07 - Updated through online information from Russell Nance. -- The organ is no longer used due to a split reservoir and no funds to repair it. The organ should probably be removed from the church before vandals destroy a potentially good instrument. -Database Manager
2021-03-04 - As of 2021 the organ is playing and being regularly maintained, although it needs a cleaning. At some point in the past, someone converted scroll tuned pipes to tuning slides cutting off the tops of many pipes. The Unison Bass in the Great plays the bottom 12 pipes of the Melodia. The original double rise reservoir is still intact and in use. There is original water motor hardware inside the case. It is not apparent that there is money or interest from the church to fully restore the organ. -Paul R. Marchesano
