Notes

2010-05-28 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Originally installed in 1927 as Möller Op. 4978, with additions by them in 1964 and 1969. -Database Manager

2018-12-08 - Updated by Steve Bartley <br> <br>Much of the 1920s mechanism was reused in this rebuild, and some of the pipes (mostly in the Sw & Pd. Chamber space was enlarged as much as possible, but still inadequate. Over the ensuing decades the light weight Moller construction, of the 1970s, soft zinc, and inadequate access has left the organ in a less than ideal condition. Add to this the problem of binding tuning sleeves, which hinder detailed tuning. -Database Manager
