Notes
2009-10-31 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager
2010-01-11 - Updated through on-line information from John Gouwens. -- The organ could use some restoration work, but it is operational, and unchanged. It's a particularly attractive example of a romantic Möller of the period. Among its attributes are a very lovely (and somewhat early style of) Möller Harp stop, and the Great contains both a Doppelflöte and a Melodia. -Database Manager
2016-01-16 - The organ has a real 32' Bourdon - unusual for a 22-rank instrument. -Database Manager
