Notes

2010-06-14 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- This contract was for a new console for the existing 4/64 Hutchings-Votey, seven new stops and a few parts; the opus number was reused in 1964 to supply pipework, mechanisms and a console rebuild for J. A. Hebert's rebuild of the organ. -Database Manager
