Notes
2016-01-01 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Don Hurd, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>A fine organ, including echo division. Two sets of chimes. Current organist has played here for decades! Good sound! Worthy of proper documentation on my next visit. -Database Manager
