Notes

2009-10-29 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2013-03-06 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The choir room, located behind the organ chamber, had a duplicate console; the organ was mentioned on the shrine's website in 2013 and a photo of the auditorium showed the open console in place on the left side main floor below the organ chamber; the auditorium console has an 'electric automatic solo player.' -Database Manager

2014-11-19 - Updated through online information from Skip Smith. -- This instrument is in working order, very lightly used, as far as I'm aware of. Not a musician, so unable to provide more detailed information. -Database Manager
