Notes

2009-03-24 - Identified through on-line information from Richard C Greene. -Database Manager

2009-12-22 - Updated through on-line information from Mike Bryant. -- Typically, the Vox Humana (Rank 8) would be in the chamber with the Tibia and Tuba on a 3-rank chest. It is not listed in either place. -Database Manager

2009-12-22 - Updated through on-line information from Peter Beames. -- "The ranks are in two chambers 1,3,4,5,6 on one expression pedal 2, 7 on the other." This misses rank #8 which is in the Solo Chamber with #2 and #7, which makes it a very standard small Wurlitzer Solo Chamber (without the usual complement of percussions). -Database Manager

2010-01-13 - Updated through on-line information from Neil Carlson. -- Organ endangered. -Database Manager

2010-01-17 - Updated through on-line information from Neil Carlson. -- Condition information following January 16, 2010 visit: Organ in mostly good working order and in tune. Combination action disabled over 30 years ago--all stop tab pneumatics are missing. 16' Tibia on great does not work--broken whisker wire on stop tab contact block. Several other stop tab contact block whisker wires are weak; they sometimes fall into each other when tab is turned off causing stop to stay on. Harp removed over 30 years ago after all the magnets were "borrowed" for something else. -Database Manager

2016-05-17 - Updated through online information from Jim Reilly. <br>As speculated in notes, the Vox Humana rank is in the same chest with the Tibia and Tuba; it is seldom used as it is usually in poor tune. The Ch/Ch 4' coupler has not worked for some time now.<br><br>P.S. the plans for a new organ, which caused you to list the organ as endangered, are currently on hold due to lack of funds -Database Manager
