Notes

2010-11-02 - Identified through online information from Kip Said. -- The instrument was rebuilt and enlarged by R.M. Ballantyne Pipe Organs of Riverside California in 2002-2004. A WurliTzer unit tibia was added by the same builder in 2005. There are three digital stops and nine digital percussion voices which could not have been part of either the Kimball or Kilgen installations so it would seem these were added in the work performed by Ballantyne in either 2002-2004 or 2005. -Database Manager
