Notes

2013-06-16 - An original installation. Identified by steven bartley, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- -Database Manager

2016-09-09 - Updated through online information from steve bartley. <br>Organ was rebuilt in the 1980s. Most of the work looked fine, though all the magnet armatures, which have a thick blotter paper glued to one side and a thin leather to the other, started to de-laminate, causing many dead notes. Additionally the original gang switches, for the numerous unit stops were retained, causing more dead notes. <br><br>Pipe work in very good condition, though somewhat bland. The original console was retained, but not updated, and this was the source of a few more problems. <br><br>A second hand electronic organ replaced the Kilgen console in the mid 2000s and the pipe organ is unusable. -Database Manager

2025-02-18 - The instrument was removed in 2020 by the Whitesel Church Organ Company of Harrisonburg Virginia. It is currently in storage and for sale. -D. Damien Jones
