Notes

2013-02-07 - An original installation of a new organ, identified through information from Dennis Dvorachek -- The original Wicks organ from which #6075 was rebuilt & expanded was Wicks #688 (from 1927) which had 16 ranks (some from another service company's expansion of the organ in the 1970's). Only 13 of those ranks are contained in #6075. -Database Manager
