2021-10-05 - The Moller organ replaced the 1929 Aeolian Organ, Opus 1724. The Aeolian [Antiphonal - was Swell] Division was in place and functional into the 1990s, repairs and some restoration having been carried out at that time. Although it has seen some vandalism, I believe it still remains. -- information from Cerny Pipe Organ website http://cernypipeorgan.sweb.cz/cfc/cfs.html -Paul R. Marchesano
