Notes

2009-09-26 - Identified by Trailon Johnson from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -Database Manager

2010-03-04 - Updated through online information from Eric J. Gastier. -Database Manager

2015-09-07 - Dismantled, packed and stored by Wakeley Pipe Organs in 2010; from their website: "The Hall and its surrounds are part of the Southbank Cultural Precinct Redevelopment Project, hence the need for the organ to be removed from the auditorium. It is scheduled to return to the Hall, once funds to refurbish and reinstate it have been secured." -Database Manager

2020-12-04 - The instrument has been in storage since 2010 in the care of Wakeley Organs, Melbourne. There are sadly no plans to reinstall it. -Graham Cox

2023-07-13 - The organ was provided with two pedal claviers - one concave and radiating and the other flat and straight. -Jeff Scofield
