Notes
2004-10-30 - Formerly First Methodist. Electrified and unplayable. -Database Manager
2010-03-26 - Updated through on-line information from Sharon Makulski. -Database Manager
2015-01-10 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. -- Original Felgemaker tracker organ converted to electro-pneumatic key action, possibly by Wurlitzer (all chest magnets are Wurlitzer black cap). Electro-pneumatic coupler relay added with rocker tablets above Swell keyboard. A bass octave for the Swell 8' Open Diapason was added, with pipes external to the expression box. As of 2008 the Swell 8' Oboe pipes were missing. The Pedal 16' Gedeckt appears to be an added knob and may not have any pipes controlled by it. The original Pedal keyboard was replaced. It is possible the bass octave for the Great 8' Dulciana was a later addition. -Database Manager
