Notes

2014-08-28 - A new organ containing portions of a relocated existing organ. Identified by Shawn P. Keith, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Based on Reuter Opus 57, retaining only select ranks of pipes and a few bass chests when the organ was relocated to the new building. Low-ceilinged chambers are at floor level behind the choir loft, with large openings but poor egress in a triangular-shaped room with very odd architecture and acoustics. -Database Manager
