Notes

2022-11-27 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from a 2022 Facebook Pipe Organ Garage Sale notice for the organ in its present home in a private residence in Bethany, Oklahoma. Verified with the Wicks opus list. This was a free-standing and encased 'Sonatina' model with a separate console. The 16' Sub Bass extension was from free reeds. -Jim Stettner
