Notes
2023-07-22 - This entry represents the combining of an existing pipe organ with a digital Rodgers instrument to create a hybrid organ. Mudler-Hunter built the original organ; R.A. Daffer rebuilt it. -Database Manager
2023-07-25 - Updated through online information from Mark Hurley: The brass trumpet en chamade was located in the balcony, along with the Positiv. These were moved to the front oi the 2018 rebuild. Some ranks were eliminated due to duplication. Swell shades were rebuilt with Peterson electronic actions. Mudler-Hunter used electro-mechanical action in this organ. -Jim Stettner
