2012-12-13 - Organ relocated without any change. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- -Database Manager
2014-03-13 - Updated through online information from Jesse Zylstra. -- The organ needs attention, specifically cleaning and re-leathering. The console was updated to solid-state sometime from the 70-80's, although to what extent or what system exactly we are unsure of. The university's digital carillon system can be played live from the organ console. The organ is used for a small number of concerts every year, the biggest being Bach Festival. -Database Manager
2015-02-18 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. -- The organ was originally installed in Moscow's Kenworthy theater and given to the University by the Kenworthy family, ca. 1936. The console was placed on a movable platform with a long cable to the organ relay. A Peterson diode matrix relay installed just off stage and the console rebuilt with a Peterson combination action and stop actions by John Moir of Balcom & Vaughan sometime in the mid 1980's, not in the 70's as previously reported. What became of the previous relay equipment is unknown.<br>Though not well suited to choral literature requiring organ accompaniment or organ repertoire outside the realm of silent film, the Morton receives a great deal of use for a number of choral concerts, chamber concerts, and other larger performances that cannot be accommodated in the smaller space of Haddock hall in the Lionel Hampton School of Music. -Database Manager
