Notes

2007-09-10 - Updated through online information from J. Kevin Crump. -- This organ was renovated by B. Rule and Co. of New Market, Tennessee in 1999. A trumpet stop was added to the swell and a mixture was added to the great as well as total renovation. Also a swell to great 16' coupler(toe stud) was added. Organ is in excellent condition. -Database Manager

2009-09-22 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. -- It is believed that this may be Kilgen's last tracker organ. The original workmanship is of exceptional quality. Prior to the B Rule renovation, some ranks had been altered and/or replaced. -Database Manager
