Notes
2015-02-28 - This entry represents the electrification of an existing tubular-pneumatic organ by an unknown person or firm, and at an undocumented date. The organ has had alterations to an existing organ. Identified by Eric Miller, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -Database Manager
2021-11-26 - A signature inside the organ by W.A. Sommerhof gives the date of set-up as April 1922. The reservoir is double-rise utilizing both weights and a spring rail. The Swell expression is mechanically linked and has a counter-weight which is a wicker basket containing bricks. The Pedal 8' extension was added in the 1990's. The blower was replaced in 2015. -Jim Stettner
