Notes

2012-03-30 - Identified through online information from Stephen Danziger. -- The congregation is eager to remove this and their Chapel instrument to make room for more office space, in the very near future. -Database Manager

2012-04-12 - Updated through online information from Gregg Patruno. -Database Manager

2015-05-31 - Updated through online information from Stephen Danziger. -- An earlier comment no longer applies. There is renewed interest in both pipe organs at Congregation Beth Elohim, and the threat to remove them and use the space they occupy for offices is in abeyance, for now. -Database Manager
