Notes

2008-12-22 - 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 1681. That number appears here as the Opus number of this instrument. -Database Manager

2016-01-11 - Some pipes retained from the 1905 Hutchings-Votey; the retained Echo division was installed by Schantz in 1919; the stoplist in THE DIAPASON said that the Pedal Subbass has 51 pipes but doesn't indicate what the 19 extra pipes are for. -Database Manager

2011-10-26 - Updated through online information from David Hufford. -- The Great Main windchest of this organ is of electro-pneumatic slider design, unlike the rest of the main windchests. The Swell division is encased in two separate expressive enclosures, with several stops from one of these enclosures being duplexed on the console as a Choir division. The Ruckpositiv division is of course positioned behind the player seated at the console, and extends from the balcony rail. A floating Dome division composed of materials of unknown origin contains five ranks. -Database Manager
