Notes

2007-10-10 - Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Parkey retained all of the original Schantz ranks, but several of them were moved from one division to another, and the entire instrument was revoiced. Ten new ranks and four digital stops were added, and a new case work was constructed. Organ is in regular use for services and recitals (2007) -Database Manager
