Notes

2009-02-02 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Originally installed Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church at Emory University, Atlanta; it was 1962 Moller rebuild M-13102, enlargement and new console for a Pilcher. It was replaced in 1982 by a 3/71 Casavant and moved, sans Antiphonal, by George Miller to Briarcliff. The former Antiphonal knobs are used for a floating Bombarde division, which has a Festival Trumpet at 16, 8 and 4, as well as Chimes and Harp. -Database Manager
