Notes

2008-02-28 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2015-10-25 - Updated through online information from William E. Catanesye, III. -- Relocated by M.P. Möller in 1956-1957. At this time, three stops were added: Swell 8' Spitzflute & 8' Spitzflute Celeste; Choir 8' Concert Flute (which replaced the Great 8' Harmonic Flute duplex in this division).<br><br>Pipework is in remarkably pristine condition with a few minor exceptions. Likewise, the installation by Möller was done in a very neat and tidy manner. Original voicing is intact. Organ appears to have been releathered in the past 20 years.<br><br>The player no longer exists. Inter-manual couplers located on the name board and are not affected by the combination action. The entire organ is under expression in two chambers: Swell & Pedal 16' Bourdon in one, Great and Choir in the other. -Database Manager
