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
2012-10-17 - Updated through online information from Richard Newman. -- This organ had a new English drawknob console installed in 1973. The old one was in very poor condition. The original console however did have a player mechanism and an extensive roll collection. Had I been organist back then I would have campaigned to restore it. At the time some "expert" told the Masons in charge to scrap it and they followed his advice: no one knew any better. The pipework and voicing is all but one rank original. -Database Manager
