Notes

2009-11-01 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2011-12-05 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The article in THE DIAPASON states that "the effort of the writer of these specifications was to include as many diapason as could be crowded in, with the necessary added brightness of strong reeds." Dr. William H. Barnes donated the Vox Humana and Chimes in memory of his father, who was a former vestryman. -Database Manager
