Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1997 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Built by Christoph Linde, working for Möller. Rear gallery. Compass 56/30. -Database Manager

2008-02-10 - Updated through online information from James A. Kriewald, PhD. -- The organ really was totally built by Christoph Linde and Richard Howell at the Möller Organ Plant. To call it a "Möller Organ" is very misleading. It is in a beautiful unstained solid cherry case. -Database Manager

2008-02-11 - Updated through online information from James A. Kriewald. -- Christoph Linde was not working for Moeller. He was self-employed, constructing the organ at the Möller plant. (James Kriewald) -Database Manager

2011-04-03 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The Möller factory specifications make no mention of another builder and the organ was featured in a Möller ad in THE AMERICAN ORGANIST. -Database Manager

2016-07-12 - Rebuilt by Taylor & Boody 2015. -Database Manager
