Notes

2008-08-13 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- New Austin stoptab console added in 1988 -Database Manager

2011-12-10 - Updated through online information from G. Mark Caldwell. -- 2004 -- The organ is tonally unaltered, but the placement of the organ has been modified so all the manual divisions' pipes are now on one level. The Great, originally on the top of the Choir division is now located in the front of the Choir, and accessed by crawling under the Choir chest through an access hatch. The Swell, originally double-decked is now on one level, and the swell box extended frontward into an area formerly occupied by the original Schantz remote combination action and switching machinery. Most Pedal Division pipework is now above the Swell. The original Schantz blower was abandoned and a new blower installed in a storage room under the Swell division. -Database Manager
