Notes

2022-10-29 - Originally installed in 1939 as 3/32 Casavant Op. 1634; tonal changes made in 1975 by Burness Associates, with subsequent tonal changes since then; console rebuilt by Hagerstown Organ Co. in 1997. Updated through information in Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture and Denis Blaine. The tonal director was Stephen Stoot. Identified through online information from Stanley R. Scheer. -- The organ is located in chambers in the chancel behind grilles with no facade pipes or casework. In 1975, Burness Associates added 8 ranks to the organ, with Casavant supplying the new pipes and parts. -- Notes from ORGAN ID 27353 -Paul R. Marchesano
