Notes

2008-05-28 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2010-07-23 - Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The Swell division is located in the right chamber, while the Great, Choir, and Pedal divisions are located in the left chamber behind the Hinners facade. The Hinners facade, however, was repainted at some point. Recently, the drawknobs and rocking tablets were replaced because of cracking plastic. This is the only change that has been made to the instrument. -Database Manager
