Notes

2007-10-06 - Identified by Jeff Scofield through information in Möller factory documents. -Database Manager

2010-02-09 - Updated through online information from Jeff scofield. -- Incorporates existing Möller Opus 10674, relocated to the gallery as the antiphonal division. -Database Manager

2022-08-09 - Judging by Facebook photos, some or all of the Antiphonal was moved to the left side of the chancel; many additional drawknobs and stops/couplers on the coupler rail would indicate further tonal changes. -Jeff Scofield
