Notes

2021-08-24 - Original Moller chests were apparently discarded when the organ was moved to the present bldg circa 1967. New Klann chests were supplied at that time to fit in the new chamber. Original Moller console was apparently discarded and a new custom Schantz console was installed in 1984. -Norman Goad
