Notes

2008-12-02 - Identified through online information from David Engen. -- A large percentage of the original Austin pipes were re-cycled into the new organ. -Database Manager

2009-02-06 - Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -- Although the Sipe organ does use pipework from the Austin, this is not a rebuild, but a new instrument. -Database Manager
