Notes

2012-10-18 - An original installation. Identified by Jeff Scofield, using information found in Catalogue of Pipe Organs in Georgia, Atlanta AGO. -Database Manager

2012-10-21 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2014-04-16 - Updated through online information from Andrew A. Clark. -- A good friend of mine was organist here some years ago. Visited church with him for a wedding. Organ was in fairly good condition. -Database Manager

2014-05-24 - Updated through online information from Ken Bailey. -- I played this instrument for Sunday services, May 18, 2014 and found the organ in excellent, unaltered condition. The music director, Marc Boensel, told me the organ experienced a couple ciphers earlier in the year, but once the warm weather arrived, the ciphers have ceased to be a problem. The organ has the original combination action, 6 generals on both pistons and toe studs as well as manual combination pistons and pedal combination toe studs. In addition to the Great to Great, Swell to Swell,and Choir to Choir 16(sub) and 4(super) couplers listed in the stoplist on this page, the organ is also equipped with a full complement of manual to manual couplers at the 16, 8, and 4 foot levels and manual to pedal couplers at the 8 and 4 foot levels. -Database Manager

2023-11-08 - Console rebuilt by Parkey Organ Builders in 2016. -Jeff Scofield
