2010-07-28 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Originally installed as South Haven tubular-pneumatic Casavant Op. 9-SH in 1913; the 1952 work converted the action to electro-pneumatic, provided a new console, a SW 2' Flageolet to replace the Vox Humana, as well as other work. -Database Manager
