Notes

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

2009-07-13 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2017-12-04 - Updated by Merrill Crawford, who has heard or played the organ. <br> The organ is equipped to send and receive MIDI signals; a standalone MIDI recorder/player (older floppy disc technology) is provided at the console and is still operational.<br>The console and bench rest on a mobile platform which has a limited range of motion, in the choir loft in front/right of the pipes. -Database Manager

2022-11-08 - Over the Summer of 2022, the organ underwent a restoration done by Dobson Organ builders of Lake City, IA. All pipes were removed and cleaned, reeds were restored to their original condition, and all bellows were re-leathered. The work concluded in August of 2022. The organ is fully functional and in regular work. -Riley Sindt
