2014-03-10 - Updated through online information from John Lanier. -- Nameplate on console states that the original instrument was built by Estey Organ Co.(N/D or opus #). Apparently parts of the original instrument were used to augment the Moller organ installed in 1988, which had previously been at Oberlin College, but this cannot be verified. -Database Manager
