Notes
2016-03-03 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Andrew A. Clark, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>A blower was added to this organ replacing the original hand pumping mechanism. Also this organ was rebuilt and a 3 rank mixture added to the Great at some point. It increased it to 12 ranks. Has beautiful casework & facade. -Database Manager
2016-04-03 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. <br>With the exception of the Great Mixture III all of the pipework is original, and the pipes for the 4' Flute d'Amour are stored on-site in case future restoration is desired. -Database Manager
