Notes

2009-08-04 - Identified through on-line information from Jack Umholtz. -- This organ, Austin Opus 411 minus Echo, was purchased from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Columbia, PA, where it was installed in the late 1940's/early 1950's. Most of the pipework from Austin 411 was installed on Electro-Pneumatic chests and was configured to fit in the available space. A totally new Great chorus was installed. -Database Manager
