Notes
2018-08-05 - This entry describes a new home for an organ that was relocated without either tonal or mechanical changes. - Identified by Benjamin Clark
This organ was purchased by St. John's College for use as a practice instrument. The college auctioned off many of their assets, including this organ, in the mid-1970s in order to forestall bankruptcy. -Database Manager
2022-11-06 - The Open Diapason rank is non-expressive, so there is a Great and a Swell division. The Pedal has no independent registers - hence 2 divisions.
The photos I've posted were sent to me by a gentleman I knew long ago who was a musician in Winfield, and whose name escapes me now. -Jim Stettner
