Notes

2016-04-04 - Organ relocated without any change. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on information learned from a conversation with Daniel Neumansky (present owner).<br>The house in which the organ had been installed was dilapidated, vandalized, and the organ suffered too. It was salvaged by Daniel Neumansky, but his photos show the organ to be pretty much beyond restoration. -Database Manager

2016-04-14 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. <br>The facade was 5-sectional with 3 flats separated by 2 towers of 3 pipes each. -Database Manager

NOTES
The original home of this organ is unknown. Hinners built four, 2-manual,
7-rank organs for locations in California. Two of them (Lodi and Terra 
Bella) were tubular-pneumatic. But the other two were both built for 
Reformed churches in San Francisco in 1915 (St. Paul's) and 1917 (St.
John's). So, this is likely one of those two unless the organ was re-
located from another state.

In the preceding stoplist, both the Great 8' Dulciana and Swell 8' Sal-
icional are listed as being tenor C – sharing the stopped wood bass
octave of the 8' flute in each division. This is presumed, but not
confirmed. It is also possible that the Pedal 16' Bourdon was tubular-
pneumatic.
