2009-10-31 - Identified through information in *List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs* (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Moller, 1928). -Database Manager
2024-11-23 - According to the organ history on the present (11/2024) church website, the church had a used Theatre organ from the Roxy Theatre in NYC, NY. installed in 1925. The story is well-documented and detailed, so I suspect the Moller contract was canceled. [ed. 2024-11-25]: Moller contract and factory records indicate otherwise. It was the Moller organ that was damaged in shipment and details of damage and photos supporting are included in the contract PDF. There is a two-page list of post-installation problems (noises, rattles, tuning stability) included as well. See DOCUMENTS tab for details. -Jim Stettner
