Notes

2015-06-12 - This entry describes modifications and the enlargement of a pre-existing organ. Originally built by M.P Möller in 1954, the organ was modified in 1973 and 1993. -Database Manager

2018-08-21 - The organ was expanded by G. M. Buck Pipe Organs (ca. 2017) with the addition of a new Great Principal (playable at 8' and 4'; the previous Great Principal became a pipe display in the Antiphonal division), a new Great Harmonic Flute (playable at 8' and 4'), and a Choir Clarinet. -Database Manager
