Notes

2011-08-13 - Identified through online information from Thomas Brown. -Database Manager

2011-08-22 - Updated through online information from Thomas Brown. -- My residence organ indeed includes some portion of the Möller organ (Op. 10832, 1972) from St. Francis Xavier in St. Joseph, Missouri, but the other Artiste, in fact the bulk of the instrument, is from Möller Op. 9172, dated 1957, which I purchased from the University of Kansas; I assume it was built for that institution. [Ed. note: Information from David Lewis indicates Opus 10832 was rebuilt by Quimby in 2002.] -Database Manager
