Notes

2009-05-19 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2011-05-30 - Updated through online information from Don Hurd. -- St. Joseph's African Methodist Episcopal Church is now Hayti Heritage Center. An interior photo of the former church shows that the organ has been removed and the altar area is now a stage. I have an l.p. recording of the Senior Choir singing The Messiah on Palm Sunday, 1966, Ernest Massenburg, Organist. The church was built in 1891, and "Renovated/Restored 2001" -Database Manager

2011-05-30 - Pipework reused in Reuter opus 1927 (1977). [Editor: NO. No Moller pipework reused. 06-04-2022] -Database Manager

2022-06-04 - Updated through online information from Randall Dyer, *"The organ in the OLD church was a Moller, from the 30's as I recall. I have no information as to whether or not this organ continues to exist, and in fact, I'm not sure I ever saw it. The organ in the NEW church is a III/27 or so Reuter, that I sold new, and installed. The new organ has NO PIPES FROM THE FORMER MOLLER ORGAN IN IT. It was totally new when installed."* -Jim Stettner
