Notes

2007-10-05 - Identified by Jeff Scofield through information in Möller factory documents. -Database Manager

2010-03-01 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2012-04-19 - Updated through information from Stephen Schaefer. -- MIDI has been added, but not the usual organ MIDI. It is attached to a synthesized piano; the Swell pedal works in a reverse way for volume control of the synthetic piano. <br>In addition, there are differences between the actual stoplist of the organ and the stoplist from the factory specifications. -Database Manager

2021-02-22 - In 2014, a three manual Allen was combined with the Möller instrument. The end result is a very well tonally balanced pipe/digital organ. All the Möller pipe work was retained. -Roman Lizak
