2010-01-11 - Updated through online information from J G Walker III. -- Union Avenue UMC will be merging with St Luke's UMC (Memphis) in spring 2010. The building is under contract to be sold. The instrument is not currently being used on a regular basis. The small congregation is worshiping in the chapel. I hope to return next week to check on the instrument again and see the chambers. I understand that there was a lovely echo division (?) located in the dome of the sanctuary. -Database Manager
2010-03-08 - Updated through online information from J G Walker III. -- 3 manual/32 ranks all playing. The echo division is located in the dome of the sanctuary some 40 ft above the floor.
