Notes

2010-10-03 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Division pistons were double-touch, first touch affecting manual, second touch pedal; replaced by digital 2007; parish closed and last Mass celebrated June 27, 2010. -Database Manager

2012-02-20 - Updated through online information from Ron Yeater. -- There two identical consoles, one in the sanctuary, the other in the gallery. Both had traditional roll tops, but underneath were horseshoe stop rails with color-coded stop keys! Gossip around Cleveland was that the organ was essentially sent to the dumpster! This is a spectacular church. -Database Manager
