Notes

2008-04-01 - Identified through online information from Benjamin Stone. -- Rebuilt and electrified in the 1940's or 1950's from its original chamber in front of the rose window into two chambers on either side of the rose window, one for the great and one for the swell with the pedal split between both. -Database Manager

2008-04-02 - Updated through online information from Benjamin Stone. -- This organ is in two cases, originally one case. It is not and was never in a chamber, that was a misprint. -Database Manager

2008-05-11 - Updated through online information from Benjamin Stone. -- This instrument is in poor condition and some ranks have been disconnected due to ripping leathers. New reservoirs within the last 5 years. Cost of rebuilding estimated to be comparable to the cost of a replacement instrument and options are being considered. Most parts quite old since the organ was used when it was purchased by the church circa 1900, and has not been refurbished to my knowledge. -Database Manager
