Notes

2016-10-05 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Matt Gerhard, based on personal knowledge of the organ. <br>Sometime in the early 2000s the organ was rebuilt and some slight tonal modifications were made. The console still contains the original combination action. -Database Manager
