Notes

2010-04-10 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Contract also provided for two-manual sanctuary console controlling Great, Swell, Echo and Pedal; 3 antiphonal divisions added c.1960 by R. F. Muench; Casavant gallery console replaced by Austin console c.a 1976 and moved to St. Matthew's Cathedral, Laramie, WY. -Database Manager

2015-08-30 - Updated through online information from Michael Williamson. -- Many original ranks exchanged by Richard Keys Biggs during his tenure as organist. Also 8- Bombarde in the Solo and an 8- Trompette en Chamade added by Richard F. Muench. Sanctuary console actually was a ‘recycled- 4 manual Kimball console (which came from First Baptist Church, Los Angeles). Console now gone, but cables are still located under the floor. -Database Manager
