2010-08-28 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The organ retained only the 32' Bourdon from the existing 1923 4/71 Casavant Op. 1000; the Swell reed chorus was replaced by one from Möller ca. 1965; the Great 2' Doublette was confirmed to a 1 3/5' Tierce ca. 1975; in 2000, Schantz installed a new console and added three new ranks. -Database Manager
