Notes

2008-07-18 - Identified through information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager

2009-04-19 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- At the time of my visit on 3/18/91, the five Swell flute stops had all been wired to play an octave higher than the original engraved tablets: 16, 8, 4, 2-2/3, & 2 had become 8, 4, 2, 1-1/3, & 1. The Swell 4' Fugara wasn't speaking, nor was the Great 2-2/3' Viole Twelfth. The Great 2' Viole Fifteenth had been wired into the Diapason/Octave unit, but still used the Viole Fifteenth trebles for the 2' extension. -Database Manager

2011-02-10 - Updated through online information from Lanny Hochhalter. -- The console is the original Moller console. Was modified by Paul Bibel, but he did not build a new console. -Database Manager

2012-10-30 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- In 2004, Hochhalter, Inc. installed new tilting-tablet mechanism, solid-state combination action system, switching system in the retained Moller console. The previously altered original specification was returned close to original design, but retained the "Regal" (Vox Humana) and Viole Celeste previously added by others. -Database Manager
