Notes

2008-04-11 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-04-17 - Updated through on-line information from Kevin M. Clemens. -- Sadly, this instrument was destroyed through the effort of the administration of the university. Fisher auditorium was renovated and the administration did not retain the instrument. Joseph Rulli, organ building got some of the ranks. -Database Manager

2011-12-26 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Console renovated by Möller at some point; 21 ranks prepared-for, with hopes "that gifts from graduates will provide for the installation of these stops by the time the organ is completed." -Database Manager
