Notes

2023-03-02 - Originally built in 1926 by the Aeolian company for the residence of Ross Shaw Sterling of LaPorte, TX. Sterling was the 31st governor of Texas. It was moved to an unknown Episcopal church were Otto Hofmann (and others) added additional ranks by Moller and Laukhuff. The organ is operated by a 3 manual Moller console. The organ was installed in the Albany Lutheran church by Richard Bond in the late 1970s. Hochhalter, Inc. rescaled the Moller 48 scale Diapason 4 notes and added a second-hand full-length Posaune. -Lanny Hochhalter
