Notes

2008-03-13 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. Portable -Database Manager

2015-04-18 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. -- The organ is in a typical Artiste case with wooden dummy facade pipes placed in the center of a balcony in the funeral home chapel. The console is located to the left of the case in the corner of the balcony. At some unknown point the case was enlarged on the back side to provide room for two additional stops playable on the Great. These are an Aeoline and Celeste. Stops were re-labled with tape and and the 4' Octave is the last and highest pitched speaking stop in the division, other stop functions being changed to provide switching for the strings. It is unknown who made the changes and additions. <br>The organ is to be relocated with minor repairs to a different facility as the property is being sold for development into higher density housing. -Database Manager
