Notes
2015-09-27 - An original installation. Identified by Stan Williams, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>This organ is located in in a chapel on the grounds of an historic retirement community. There is no entry for "retirement community" when choosing locations so this may be the only historic pipe organ in a retirement community in the country. Would like to know from knowledgeable people if this is the case. -Database Manager
2016-04-14 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager
2023-09-17 - There appear to be 9 ranks of pipes, with virtually all ranks available (with varying names) and different pitch levels on all three manuals and pedal. 5 flue ranks: Open Diapason, Stopped Diapason, Salicional, Celeste, Dulciana, Dolce and 3 reed ranks: Oboe, Clarinet, Vox Humana. In addition there are chimes and a harp stop. The entire organ is enclosed in a single swell box.
The right hand setterboard drawer has two levels, as shown in the picture. The upper level slides to the rear to access the lower level. -David Hendricksen
