Notes

2012-07-05 - Identified through online information from David Frost. -- This has been a major rebuild with all new power and control wiring, complete cleaning of all pipes and chests, cleaning, painting and replacement lighting throughout. The project started with placing two new Zepher blowers located in much more appropriate locations, and a new Great pitman chest by Organ Supply Co. Several other chests have had a major rebuild. A new Great 4' 0ctave pipe rank built by Schopps. Reeds rebuilt better than new by Broome. A 1940s three manual Austin Console has been completely refurbished and replaces the very tired original two-manual Möller. The combination action is a greatly enlarged Peterson stop tab type. After completion of all the renovations a complete tonal voicing by a professional is planned. This project has been underway for over seven years! -Database Manager

2014-04-15 - Updated through online information from David Frost. -- Complete Tonal Finishing and tuning completed. Rededication scheduled April 20, 2014. Community Concert to be played by Robert Couchon on May 2nd, 2014 at 6:00 PM. -Database Manager

2023-01-03 - Church no longer maintains the organ. Church has failed to clean the key contacts. -DAVID FROST
