2013-10-28 - Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -- Received from Dobson Pipe Organ Builders:
<br>"While a fine and well-built organ, the more than three decades of intensive use had taken its toll. Our recommendations included a complete cleaning of the instrument, the upgrading of some of the electronic components of the combination and stop actions, the correction of flaws in racking and other areas, and careful re-regulation of the pipes to bring stray notes back into the fold. --Dobson Pipe Organ Builders, Ltd. (2010)" -Database Manager
