Notes

2019-11-24 - Originally installed in 1905 in Hays Avenue Methodist Church, Jackson, Tennessee, as Pilcher 2/11 Op. 511; rebuild and tonal changes as Kilgen Op. 6087 in 1938; moved to current sanctuary in 1981 and renovated by Bill Oberg of Memphis; the church was renamed Aldersgate at this time. -Database Manager

2019-11-25 - The Moller Op. 3005 builder plate, apparently a 'duplicate' created by Mr. Oberg, is incorrect; Op. 3005 was a 3-manual installed in Lansing, Michigan, that remained there until replaced in 1993; kudos to him, anyway, for trying to give credit to other builders involved with the organ. -Database Manager
