Notes

2023-07-13 - This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Identified from online information from 'Kevin'. -Jim Stettner

2023-07-13 - According to notes on a related Ohs Database entry, the organ was moved to Broadus Memorial Baptist Church, 32nd & East Broad Streets when the synagogue was sold to an Orthodox congregation. Then the organ was relocated to Tunhai University in Formosa in 1962 where it was subsequently badly vandalized. The remnants were salvaged for installation at Tai Peng Jing Presbyterian Church. -Jim Stettner
