Notes
2014-01-06 - Altered and relocated existing organ.
Identified by Didier Grassin, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- -Database Manager
2014-02-22 - Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- The organ was tonally modified by the addition of a 16' Contrabass, due to low bass response in new location, and slightly reconfigured (moving the Positiv in closer to the main case) in order to meet the architectural constraints of the new location. -Database Manager

I visited 02/19/2024, and the organ is still extant and playable, though some repairs are needed (such as the Zimbelstern not working well). The acoustics of the location are poor, and erase lots of the bass. The Positiv is enclosed. The circulating tuning system is interesting, thanks to the last chair of the music department. -Paul R. Marchesano
