Notes

2008-01-17 - Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- According to the church's web site, the organ is in regular use at 10:00 (traditional) service and for concerts (2007). -Database Manager

2009-10-06 - Updated by Rae Bolton from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -Database Manager

2010-05-05 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2017-06-16 - Updated by Steve Bartley, the builder.<br> Sometime in ca. 2015/16, a local organ enthusiast, in an attempt to remedy some key/coupler action problems with the pedal division removed the original Casavant mechanism by attempting to install a solid state system. The David M. Storey Inc. organ firm was later called in to remedy the problem and installed a new system, designing it in such a way which is organized and easy to maintain as the space for the new system was greatly constrained. -Database Manager
