Notes

2010-01-06 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The console appeared to be an old Austin console. The exposed pipework was clearly vintage. When I saw this organ in December of 1987, it was barely playable. Disposition of this insturment is unknown. It has since been replaced with a new encased W. Zimmer & Sons pipe organ. -Database Manager

2013-03-01 - Updated through online information from Randy Terry. -- This instrument was an assemblage of various components by Norville Hall. Sold or given to Jerry Ellis prior to the installation of the new instrument by W. Zimmer & Sons. -Database Manager

2013-10-25 - Updated through online information from Paul Dessau. -- Here is some info I (Paul Dessau) received concerning organ history at FUM Russelville, after contacting the church: <br>The organ that you are researching was donated by the Bradford family in the 1978 to 1985 range. The family has all either passed or moved out of state. I was able to ascertain that the organ was a composite of several older organs, the console and pipes being from different instruments. Hope this helps. Any further information would be mere speculation I'm afraid. -Database Manager
