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

2011-06-27 - Updated through on-line information from Dennis A. Steckley. -- This organ is cherished by the congregation and used when an organist is available which isn't often. I assume it's mostly playable; I should be finding out in the next few months as I will have the opportunity to try it out. -Database Manager

2012-07-05 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- New Möller console in 1977 as Op. M-8646 via Robert G. Dial, Springfield, Illinois. -Database Manager
