Notes

2020-04-09 - Originally installed in 1924 as 3/33 Moller Op. 3993; rebuild, new console and tonal changes by Moller in 1949; tonal revisions by Redman Organ Co. 1992-92 and Schudi Organ Co. 1999-2004; the 1949 Moller console has been retained throughout; the organ retains all of its 1949 action; there is no solid-state switching or combination action. -Database Manager

2022-03-22 - According to a March 21, 2022 post by Jake Morris of Redman Pipe Organs on Facebook's 'Pipe Organ Builders Group' with accompanying photos - the Moller is being removed because of damaged plaster walls requiring abatement in the Main Auditorium. The organ will receive both tonal and mechanical upgrades, and then be reinstalled. -Jim Stettner
