Notes
2009-04-06 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager
2015-03-03 - Updated through online information from Samuel Nelson. -- This organ is still used every Sunday. It is "tired" and will need to be releathered in the next 5 to 10 years, but sounds remarkably good for its age and condition. Pitch is at about a quarter step flat from A=440. Blower is on its last legs...has to be manually started in the basement. Needs new brushes. Organ is totally original, unaltered. -Database Manager
2017-04-03 - Specification dated December 22, 1906. Cost $6,000. "$250 Extra for Doub. Op. Diap." -Database Manager
2023-04-22 - Original specs show Great 16 Double Diapason and Pedal 16 Violone as prepared for, but these are both installed. The Great 16 is en facade and the Pedal Violone is all wood, sitting on unit chests behind the Swell box. At some point, the original 30n pedal was extended to 32n but adding 2 pipes to each of the five pedal ranks. -Wayne Johnson
