Notes

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

2009-07-14 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2014-02-07 - Updated through online information from Alex Fries. -- The Tremolo on the GREAT was removed and replaced with a 2 octave Deagan Chime at an unknown time. However the stop tab on the console is still labeled "tremolo." A project is currently underway to repair as many of the issues as allowed by the church budget. -Database Manager
