Notes

2007-10-02 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Installed at the front of the room with the Great and Pedal exposed atop a chamber pedestal which houses the unexpressive Positiv. The Swell is expressive behind the exposed pipes on the right side. The organ was a gift of Mr. & Mrs. John J. Strader. The dedicatory recital was played on Tuesday, November 10, 1970 at 8:30 by Wayne Fisher, and was repeated the following night. This was followed with recitals by Virgil Fox (Nov. 15 & 17), David Mulbury (Nov. 21), and Roberta Gary (Nov. 23). -Database Manager
