Notes

2004-10-30 - From Fifth Street Baptist, Richmond, 1935. -Database Manager

2012-09-17 - Updated through online information from John DeMajo. -- Organ exists but has not been used since 1985. Congregation went to gospel piano at that time, and organ was abandoned in place. Organ was started in August 2012 and it still functions with exception of one broken tracker. 1925 relocation resulted in pedal offset and speaking facade pipes being placed on electric chests, however all manual chests and action remain original mechanical key and stop action. Organ could be made playable with minimal repair. Site visit by John DeMajo 8/2012 -Database Manager
