Notes

2009-10-30 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2010-05-30 - Updated through on-line information from Brett Miller. -- This instrument was removed and replaced in 1970 by an Allen electric organ. The case and pipe facade (of which some were speaking pipes) were left when the rest of the instrument was removed and they remain today. The Allen organ was removed in 2010 and replaced with a 3-manual Johannus digital organ in the same space behind the original pipe facade. The entire instrument was voiced on 5" of wind pressure and had both a tremulant and a crescendo indicator light. -Database Manager
