Notes
2021-02-10 - Modifications by John Dower in 2000 included adding a multi-level combination action, all new stop knobs and motors to accommodate the original stops and the added 12 digital stops voiced by Daniel Angerstein, adding on an electropneumatic chest a high pressure (15" wind) hooded 8' Trompette de Fete built by Rogers of England and voiced by Daniel Angerstein, and electrification of manual to manual couplers to lessen weight of mechanical key action when coupled. -Terry Byrd Eason
2025-03-31 - Entire instrument (except Trompette de fete) removed by Lincoln Pipe Organs in May 2024.
