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

2009-12-22 - Updated through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ is housed in a room with excellent acoustics. The instrument's Great division is under expression in the left chamber, while the Swell is under expression in the left chamber. The gold facade pipes on the outside of both chambers are fake and do not speak. The original cost of the organ was $5,675. -Database Manager
