Notes
2022-04-29 - This entry represents the rebuild and enlargement of an existing organ. Identified through online information from Shawn P. Keith. -Jim Stettner
2022-04-29 - In 2000 the organ was converted to solid-state control (eliminating all original Wicks stop and coupler relays) using a Wicks diode-matrix relay system, and expanded to 12 ranks by Wicks, retaining all original pipes and chests. The console was renovated to incorporate the expansion, including replacement of the combination action with a Peterson diode-matrix system, and replacing several tabs to reflect the changes and additions. -Shawn P. Keith
