Notes

2013-02-10 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by Jeff Scofield, using information found in Factory specifications. -- The console was updated in 1996, at which time the Swell Trompette was replaced; in 2003, a "new ornamental façade" was installed by Eastern Organ Pipes, Inc., to replaced the screens; the organ was renovated by the Hagerstown Organ Company 2005-2007, assisted by Steiner Murphy Organ Co.; some of the reed stops were refurbished by Trivo. -Database Manager
