Notes

2008-03-21 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2008-09-27 - Information posted to PIPORG-L by Ralph Webb indicates at least some re-building ca. 1972, including the addition of the 16' wooden Trombone from Pilcher Opus 1497, originally installed in the First Baptist Church of Atlanta in 1930. -Database Manager

2019-02-04 - The organ has been considerably altered since the original 1947 installation; it was moved to the present building in 1956 and then enlarged by previously-played pipework from all over; the large 3-manual console came from All Saints' Episcopal, Atlanta, after a time-out in a Tennessee garage. -Database Manager
