2010-06-15 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- 15 stops (17 ranks) prepared for, including entire Choir division -Database Manager
2019-06-25 - Updated by William M. Worden, who has heard or played the organ. I do not have the details, but this organ was completed by Casavant, I think in the late 1940s. Whether the completion followed the stoplist given here I cannot be sure. More recently, an unknown person has made some alterations, including replacement of some of the facade pipes fronting the two chambers, apparently with pipes not meant for display because they have tuning scrolls facing outward. The organ shows definite signs of needed releathering. -Database Manager
2024-02-05 - Extensive releathering of the Great, Swell, and some pedal in 2023 has made the instrument much more playable. The work was done by Renaissance Pipe Organ of Ann Arbor. -William Worden
