Notes

2009-07-07 - Identified through online information from Richard C Greene. -Database Manager

2012-05-23 - Updated through online information from Josh Sellner. -- This organ is in excellent original condition, with action and pipework completely unaltered, down to the original tubular pneumatic action. However, though the original feeders for hand pumping are present, they are not operational, as the wind trunk from the blower is attached to the bottom of one of the feeders. -Database Manager

2016-04-30 - Updated through online information from David Bohn. <br>According to the notebook kept by Fr. Innocent Gertken, O. S. B. of St. John's Abbey, Collegeville, this organ was contracted on March 12, 1913, with installation to be completed by July 15 of that year, at a cost of $5000. -Database Manager
