Notes

2010-01-14 - Identified by Riley Wes Mitchell from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -Database Manager

2010-06-28 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Paul Bunjes was consultant. -Database Manager

2018-07-14 - The organ replaced the church's Möller organ (opus 3967), which had been installed in 1924 when the building was dedicated. According to a church history article in the church newsletter, the Casavant was likely the first organ to be located in the back balcony. The instrument was extensively rebuilt and expanded in 2007 by G. M. Buck Pipe Organs. The work included rebuilding the console, moving the Positiv to the balcony rail, and adding ranks and digital stops. -Database Manager
