Notes

2008-12-02 - Identified through online information from John Panning. -- Unsure of opus number, but "1082" appears frequently in the organ. At some unknown time, an unknown party added a Dulciana and Unda Maris to the Swell division, locating the pipes in the chamber opposite the main organ. The windchest for these additional ranks appears to have come from the Solo of Reuter Op. 210. -Database Manager

2012-07-26 - Updated through online information from Will Dunklin. -- Church previously known as Swedish Evangelical Lutheran. -Database Manager

2015-11-07 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. -- Referring to The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, an Illustrated History, by David Junchen, page 747, the number 1082 refers to the organ's wiring schedule. -Database Manager
