Notes
2009-09-23 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager
2022-02-26 - The original action was tubular-pneumatic, and presumably still is. As of 2022, a compilation of the church's live-streamed services indicates that while the organ still apparently functions well, it is only used on the very rarest of occasions, with the piano being the main source of music throughout the services. The organ is 'side-saddle', with the console on the left side of the case, perpendicular to the facade. -Scot Huntington
2022-02-26 - This instrument replaced an earlier ca. 1915 Moller for reasons at present unknown, perhaps a fire. The contract was signed Feb. 26, 2019, for installation and use by May 10th; it was actually shipped from the factory on May 3rd. The cost was $1750.00. The action was tubular-pneumatic, but the organ was provided with an electric blower. The case was quarter-sawn oak, facade pipes were painted gold, the organ had a duplex chest, and stop control was by stop keys.
