2023-01-15 - The Choir English Diapason (from Tenor C) is currently in an organ assembled by hobbyists in a church in Shelby, Nebraska. The stop list of this organ (Möller Opus 6752) indicates the Great Diapason was replaced from Tenor C in 1984. Could that be an error and the Choir Diapason is actually the one that was replaced? The core of the Shelby installation dates from the 1960s, but the English Diapason could have been added in 1984 or later. -Ryan Luckey
