Notes

2008-12-20 - Identified through information published in John Ferguson's <i>Walter Holtkamp: American Organ Builder</i> (DMA treatise, Eastman School of Music, 1976). Although neither Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling nor their successor Holtkamp Organ Co. assigned Opus numbers to their instruments, this organ was identified in factory documents as Job number 1583. That number appears here as the Opus number of this instrument. -Database Manager

2009-03-05 - Updated through online information from Don Daley. -- This organ was relocated to St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Chagrin Falls (Bentleyville), Ohio in the year 2001. -Database Manager

2012-02-21 - Updated through online information from Ron Yeater. -- a number of ranks of pipes from an earlier organ (in this church?) were used for this organ. -Database Manager
