Notes
2014-04-04 - This is a new instrument incorporating parts from an existing organ.
Identified by Joseph Tuttle, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- Comprehensive rebuild of existing instrument, retaining original pipework from ca. 1892 and cases. New wind chests, Syndyne solid state control system. 1972 Klann console shell retained, fitted with new keyboards, stop rail, and pedal key covers. -Database Manager
2014-04-14 - Updated through online information from Joseph Tuttle. -- Pedal 16' Trombone is an independent 32-note rank. 1-12 of the 16' Diapason are large scale stopped wooden pipes. New swell box and shutters installed during rebuild, all new main wind chests and several offset chests. The facade pipes were restored, and those on the Great case were re-activated to speak after decades of silence. -Database Manager
