2018-07-04 - This entry describes a new home for an organ that was relocated without either tonal or mechanical changes. Identified by Dr. James F. Simpson<br> Considering that the historic organ was built in 1935 and is in its fourth home, it is in remarkably good shape. The oak cabinet was refinished at some point and the original pipework, open reeds, wind chest, and blower have remained unaltered. -Database Manager
