Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1996 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Suspended action. Compass 56/30. Van Biezen temperament. -Database Manager

2007-05-30 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Couplers are by both drawknob and hitch-down pedals. The organ has 2 Pleno pedals which are "pre-set" and act like ventils. -Database Manager

2008-03-19 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2009-10-09 - Updated through online information from Will Dunklin. -- During the summer of 2009 Barger and Nix added a combination action using an electronic memory system. B & N removed the mechanical "ventils" which were the organ's original combination action. Karl Wilhelm has repaired and/or replaced pipes in the bottom octave of the 16' pedal reed over the last decade due to metal fatigue/distortion. -Database Manager

2013-10-23 - Updated through online information from Dorothy Young Riess. -- I recently played this instrument and it is in excellent condition, bright and resounding in a good room. -Database Manager
