Notes
2014-02-15 - Electrification of existing organ and installation of a new detached stop-tab console. Records indicate the last rebuild of the organ was 1969. Organ is currently (February 2014) listed as being for sale. -Database Manager
2014-03-28 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. -- Swell 8' Clarinet notes 1-12 and 8' Vox Celeste are on an electric-action chest behind the Swell main chest, added after the 1969 rebuild. 8' Clarinet 13-61 may have supplanted the Vox Celeste on the main chest due to space limitations. Swell 8' Vox Humana is suspended over the main chest on a pneumatic chest not matching any others in the organ. Height restrictions caused by installation of Vox Humana may have been cause for relocating Celeste. Great 8' Melodia and Swell 8' Stopped Diapason are both made up of pipes from different ranks but all appear to be Felgemaker. Remainder of original Felgemaker 8' Melodia stored under console platform. Pedal 16' Bourdon has original 30 note compass but plays on 32-note pedalboard at 8' and 4'. -Database Manager
2014-11-20 - Updated through online information from Joseph Tuttle. -- Church closed in February, 2014. Church and accompanying purchased by a private buyer in August, 2014. The pipe work and console were removed to storage by Luley & Associates in November, 2014. The facade and wind chests were left in place. -Database Manager
