2012-08-27 - Updated through online information from Jonathan Gradin. -- Organ is thankfully unaltered and mostly playable; however, due to budget allowances for only tuning, voicing and other maintenance is lacking. As of Fall 2012, the Great 8' Open Diapason has some notes in the tenor range which are slow to speak or which have other noise; the 4' Choralbass has a dead note (likely a dirty magnet, but the pipe has been pulled); and the combination action is not always reliable (most notably on the left jamb) due to console wind leaks. -Database Manager

2015-02-18 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. -- The chambers are laid out as follows. Swell on the left, Great and Pedal in the center, and Choir on the right. The combination action is the usual Casavant tripper style for the period. With a new department head it is hoped all of the organs on campus will receive the support for long needed work. -Database Manager
