Notes

2009-01-05 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-05-19 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2013-04-18 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ stoplist as presented in the factory specs [below] is not entirely what was installed. On the Choir, the 1-1/3' Larigot was a preparation. A blank drawknob is located in the Choir jamb. Also, the Antiphonal division is entirely prepared-for. And lastly, there is no exposed pipework in the organ. The chambers are in the ceiling and speak into the auditorium thru tone chutes. The presence of the organ in the room is mediocre at best. Subsequent minimal tonal changes have been made by an unknown person or firm at an unknown date. -Database Manager

2013-04-22 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- In an email to me dated April 18, 2013 from Loree K. Swegle (Program Asst., Music Dept.) she states, "I have checked with our faculty and it sounds like when our auditorium was remodeled (sometime around 1998-2000) the pipe organ was removed. No one in my department seems to know where it went and they do not have any more information regarding it. Sorry." -Database Manager
