Notes

2013-06-13 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by William Dunklin, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Installed rebuilt electro-pneumatic chests and a rebuilt detached console. Pipework and case from the 1916 Moller. The builder's plate says "Rebuilt and Improved by Harold Weaver, 1980." Mr. Weaver was one of the partners in A.W. Brandt Company. -Database Manager

2020-04-28 - 1. Milnar Organ Company (1998) upgraded console to 32 level combination action with solid state couplers. 2. In 2008, M.O.C. added to the Great a 4' Octave and 8' Krummhorn. 3. In 2012, M.O.C. re-leathered the swell primary. -John Lucianno

2024-11-10 - This is not the original Moller console; it appears to be a 'previously-played' E M Skinner or Aeolian-Skinner console. -Jeff Scofield
