Notes

2014-05-31 - In 1997 the audtorium was closed for an extensive renovation; the organ was removed by Austin (leaving airboxes and 11 notes of the 32' Open Diapason and 12 notes of the 32' Violone) and re-actioned; it was reinstalled in 2002 with a new console; the consultant for the organ restoration was William F. Czelusniak. A solid state relay and combination system was installed. -Database Manager
