Notes

2007-12-04 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-02-15 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is installed at the front of the nave in a chamber on the left side. The console is directly in front with the organist facing across the nave. The Great has an indigenous 8' Open Diapason and 8' Dulciana - of which the Dulciana is also playable from the Swell. The Swell has an indigenous 8' Stopped Diapason, 8' Salicional, and 4' Flauto Traverso - all three of which are available on the Great. The Pedal has an independent 16' Bourdon that also plays on soft wind as a 16' Gedeckt. The Möller replaced a previous free-standing and encased organ of unknown origins. Documented October 5, 1996. -Database Manager
