2008-02-16 - Updated through on-line information from John Ignatowski. -- Presently in The Music House, museum of mechanical music instruments, Acme, Michigan -Database Manager

2012-02-16 - Updated through online information from Kristina Powers. -- This instrument is how housed and preserved in the Music House Museum of mechanical musical instruments in Acme, Michigan, adjacent to Traverse City and a major tourist attraction. The museum guides explained that the organ was built in 1917, relocated to the museum in the 80's when St. Andrew's decided to pass on repairing it, get another organ. The parish contacted the museum and consequently donated it to the museum. The organ came with a roll player that was later added on. -Database Manager
