2012-05-23 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2014-07-17 - Updated through online information from Robert Scarborough. -- This was the Möller presided over by composer Dale Wood for a number of years as organist-choirmaster. According to sources at Eden, this Möller has been "modifried" and rebuilt by an electronic firm to become a Moller/Allen organ. Best I can tell, all of the original 30 ranks of Moller are still there, and the tone is pretty much representative of the White era at Möller...principals, célèstes and reeds courtesy of Adolph Zajic, White's favored reed voicer. -Database Manager
