Notes

2021-06-17 - Today Martin Pasi and his team begin installing the 1981 Rieger tracker in the rear corner of our Nave. The instrument will eventually have seven stops crafted by Martin and his shop, thus we shall refer to it as a Rieger/Pasi! The Mixture-heavy specification will be altered by Martin Pasi. -- information from Dennis E. Northway via Facebook, June 16, 2021 -Paul R. Marchesano

2022-12-06 - This entry represents the installation with tonal modifications of a used organ for a new congregation in a new city and state. -Jim Stettner
