Notes

2009-09-02 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2009-09-29 - Updated through on-line information from Will Dunklin. -- This was a "bar chest" design which was non-functioning when I last saw the organ around 1977. This is the only organ I personally have ever seen that had a separate setter piston for EACH combination piston. Since the Möller was unplayable, the church was using a Hammond organ at the time. Around 1980 A.W. Brandt of Columbus Ohio removed the Möller and installed an electric action Felgemaker organ inside the Möller case. -Database Manager
