2010-12-22 - Updated through on-line information from Thomas H. Cotner. -- The original 1902 organ was destroyed in the revolution; however, the casework and console were saved and used in the 1937 rebuild. The windchests and most of the pipe work were re-used in the 1985 renovation, with a new detached console built. The windchests were replaced in the 2004 upgrade, and a new Bourdon added to great. -Database Manager
