Notes

2012-01-17 - Identified through online information from Anthony Fabro. -- The organ was first installed at First Church of Christ Scientist in Akron, OH in 1979. It was moved to St. Michael in 1989 with no modifications made to it. Muller tonally revised the instrument and added several ranks in the 2009 rebuild. The 2009 rebuild has not been altered. -Database Manager

2012-02-25 - Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- According to the builder's website, in addition to adding ranks, existing flue ranks were revoiced, and reeds were replaced. (accessed Feb 24, 2012) -Database Manager

2017-05-05 - Updated by Julius Coyle, listing this website as a source of information: http://www.n8rrb.com/pipeorgans/stmichaelcc/.<br> The Pedal 16' Open Wood is from Skinner Opus #264, which was installed in First Church of Christ, Scientist in South Bend, Indiana. The Choir 4' Spire Flute, despite the name, has conical tops like a Koppelflöte. The Great 8' Gedeckt is a chimney flute - stopped wood with bored stoppers. -Database Manager
