Notes

2009-02-18 - Identified through on-line information from Richard C Greene. -Database Manager

2010-04-22 - Updated through on-line information from Bruce Tominello. -- The French Horn in the solo division is on the same high pressure as the Bombarde 8'. -Database Manager

2012-04-29 - Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -Database Manager

2022-11-18 - In 2009, the console was taken to Peterson Electro Musical Products in Chicago and was updated with a new ICS-4000 system, new draw-knobs and coupler tablets. There are now 100 memories and a host of other current technologies available. In addition, the rather ineffective 10 2/3 in the Pedal was replaced with a solid-state Peterson 32' Bourdon. The Solo and Swell chambers are now re-fitted with 16 stage expression shutter motors, rather than the original 8-stage. A Klann Zimbelstern was added which was later removed. -Ben Franske

2022-11-19 - 2009 updated computer memory/control system -Ben Franske

2023-10-25 - Updated through online information from Bruce Tominello: The 32’ Resultant was replaced with a digital stop when the console was digitalized. The French Horn is on the same high wind pressure as the Bombarde. -Jim Stettner
