Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1972. -Database Manager

2023-10-03 - Visited as part of preparation for a 150th birthday recital with Vaughn Watson. A lovely modest instrument with a good variety of choruses! The C-C flat pedalboard threw us for a loop because the notes are located one note off from what we expect when playing blind, but that can be overcome. Some observations of nlrhings not quite right At the moment: The combination pedals did not seem to do anything, the tremulant is not functional and only lets out air when engaged, and the Great bourdon low Db is currently missing and could not be located when it was last tuned. -Nate Pultorak
