2016-09-11 - Updated through online information from Justin Little. This organ, per Jeff Dexter of Schantz, is Opus 514, not 384. 384 was a small practice organ built around 1955. Opus 514 was built in 1962, minus the specified prepared-for stops, which were later installed in 1970. Milnar moved the organ in 1981 to the Fine Arts building. -Database Manager

2019-10-24 - Updated by Derek Milnar, who maintains the organ. Organ has all original leather and control system. Console is air driven. -Database Manager
