Notes

2014-04-04 - Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Joseph Tuttle, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Instrument relocated to present location by Fischer Organ Co. of Pittsburgh ca. 2004. Originally in unknown residence in Kansas City, Missouri. Some ranks replaced by Fischer at this time with vintage American pipework, and the mid-range of the Trumpet was re-mounted en chamade. -Database Manager
