2014-03-28 - Updated through online information from Joseph Tuttle. -- The Sforzando does not cancel with stops on General Cancel and must be turned off separately. At some time in the late 1960s or early 1970s the 4' Spitzflote on the Great was replaced with a recycled 4' wooden flute of unknown origin. -Database Manager
2014-07-01 - Updated through online information from Joseph Tuttle. -- This organ was parted out in early May of 2014 in preparation for renovations to the choir loft and the installation of a new three-manual tracker instrument by Jaeckel Organs of Duluth, MN. The Viola, Viola Celeste, Subbass, Quintaton, and Gemshorn ranks were retained to be incorporated into the new organ. Remaining pipe work was removed to storage by Luley & Associates. -Database Manager

2022-03-11 - The claim that the Tellers was a rebuild of the Didinger organ is spurious, [in my opinion] having played it many times during my graduate studies there in the early 2000s and having climbed in it and tuned it a few times. The pipework was decidedly entirely Tellers to my eye (and having climbed in many a Tellers in my time). -- informatino in personal email to the editor 2022-03-11 As of this date, the original stoplist for the Didinger & Co. organ has been found and it supports the idea that the pipework was likely much more romantic and broad than what Tellers were building in the 1950s. A new entry for the Didinger instrument has been created. -Paul R. Marchesano
