Notes

2008-11-07 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Cathedral acquired an electronic in 1984 which is now failing. They have secured another electronic which has now been offered to them at an "attractive" price. Plans are to interface the electronic with the Kilgen so that they can either be played separately or together. Source: Cathedral website. -Database Manager
