Notes

2018-05-04 - The pipes are cantilevered above the choir loft at the front of the church. -Database Manager

2024-04-14 - The instrument is not played regularly, is not serviced regularly and is in very bad shape. It is barely playable. I serviced it in April 2024. It was all I could to patch the numerous leaking regulator bellows and tune around the many dead notes for a special event - one of the rare occasions when it is played. The interior of the organ is very dirty cramped and poorly laid out, complicating repairs. -Alan Binger
