Notes
2008-01-21 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager
2017-08-24 - Updated through online information from John Hoffman. -- A large portion of the current instrument was used as a demonstration organ by Laukhoff at a national convention of APOBA in the late 1990s. Other portions of the organ were assembled and constructed by Greg Harrold. The final installation, voicing and finishing was by David Salmen. -Database Manager
2018-02-26 - Updated by T. Bradford Willis, DDS, who gave this as the source of the information: Attended a Mass on January 20, 2018, where the organ was used. -Database Manager
2018-02-26 - Updated by T. Bradford Willis, DDS, listing this website as a source of information: https://staustin.org/organ. -Database Manager
2019-07-24 - Updated by Greg Harrold, the builder. <br>The organ was designed by Greg Harrold -- pipe scales and details, case, key and stop action. August Laukhuff made the pipes, keyboards, pedalboard, key and stop action, bellows, windchests and internal framing to Greg Harrold\'s detailed designs. Greg Harrold built the case and shop voiced and tuned the organ. Due to a dispute between the client and organbuilder it was agreed that the organ would be moved to St. Austin Catholic Parish in that condition in exchange for a final payment. David Salmen installed the organ and performed the final tonal finishing and tuning. The case was repainted green. The stop names were changed from Greg Harrold\'s original nomenclature. So, this is a Harrold organ with parts made by Laukhuff to Harrold\'s specifications, installed and finished by Salmen. -Database Manager
