Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1996 -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - Electrified. Electropneumatic action to slider chests. Restored to tracker action by Cunningham Pipe Organs c. 1975. Survived a1985 fire. Restored 1996 by Thomas Peelen [of Knowlton Organ Co.?]. -Database Manager
2013-03-24 - Updated through online information from Don Hurd. -- The organ was never re-trackerized. The Doppelflute and oboe were substituted in the last renovation, according to the former choir director. -Database Manager
2017-05-04 - Updated by Don Hurd, who has heard or played the organ.<br>
I played a recital for the conclusion of the church's 175th Anniversary year, 3/19/2017. Organ works well, but pipework has many unstable tuning issues. An appropriate sound for the magnificent room and acoustic. A must visit if you're in the area! -Database Manager
2021-06-23 - The organ is in Fair condition. Not all of the pipes speak and the organ is somewhat out of tune. -Solomon Wickline
