2016-10-26 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. <br>The Choir 8' Gemshorn does not consist of the original Moller pipework, current pipes are of an unknown builder. The Choir 1-1/3' Larigot is not the original pipes either; they are contrived of a similar vintage Moller 4' Spitzflote placed on the chest beginning with 1-1/3'G, probably somewhat broader in scale from the original pipes. The Swell 4' Trichterregal was replaced by a Voix Celeste of older pipes, a dubious tonal match at best. At some point an unknown builder added a high-quality European-built 16' Trumpet behind the facade, 73 pipes on a single unit chest, notes 1-12 half-length. As of October 2016 the instrument is for sale. -Database Manager

2017-03-19 - At some point the treble of the Great Spitzflöte was exchanged with the Choir Larigot. All original pipes were retained, however much revoiced. The Choir Gemshorn was rescaled by a few notes of new bass pipes. The original tenor C of the Gemshorn was pressed into service as tenor C of the Swell Celeste, the rest of that set being of Wangerin / Jerome Meyer origin." (Christoph Wahl) -Database Manager

2017-03-19 - This organ has been broken up for parts, and the building is about to be torn down. (Christoph Wahl) -Database Manager
