Notes

2010-10-14 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Three of the stops added in 1976 by Casavant. -Database Manager

2016-02-21 - Updated through online information from Alan Binger.<br> Modifications were done by a volunteer group. The switching system and C/A was stripped out and replaced with a solid state / microprocessor based system (Opus_Two). The console was modified - knobs in side jambs with rocker tablets on nameboard for couplers.<br> The Great 8' Principal was moved to the Swell and the 8' Diapason from the defunct Moller in the old church was swapped in. The Swell reeds were moved to a new windchest to accommodate the Principal on the main windchest. -Database Manager
