Notes
2023-09-20 - From Lewis & Hitchcock:
"Our records show it as “Opus 233, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, II/02, 1971, Practice Organ.” According to Gerald Piercey, former company president, this organ may have been built by George Payne, as he had a couple of organs in production around the time he purchased Lewis & Hitchcock."
From Joby Bell:
I agree that this was probably a previous George Payne project that eventually bore the L&H nameplate. George and the Appalachian professor at the time, H. Max Smith, were good friends, and I wouldn't be surprised if Max had commissioned the organ directly from George before George's affiliation with L&H. -Paul R. Marchesano
