2009-07-09 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Installed in a chamber on the front, left side of the room. Encased Great projects out from the wall. 3-sectional facade with 19 pipes arranged: 7-5-7. The Pedal Octaves 8' & 4' stop only plays an 8' pitch, so the 4' seems to be prepared. If/when added, the organ will be 13 ranks. -Database Manager
2022-01-18 - Watersmith Pipe Organs, Inc., of Enfield, New Hampshire, rebuilt and enlarged the organ, which we packed and moved to Tyler in the summer of 1992. Our [The Organ Clearing House] crew members Christoph Wahl, Joshua Wood, and Alan Laufman assisted Robert Waters and Andrew Smith in the installation. Their rebuilding included extensive tonal changes with much new pipework, a new wind system, and a new Pedal division. They also recreated missing casework carvings and panels. -- from builder ad, *1993 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
