Notes
2023-09-28 - Organ has many dead notes on Swell and Pedal. Console is in good working order. Console builder is unknown, but the console has multi-level memory and MIDI capability, so it must be from the mid-80s or newer. Church claims to use organ in worship on their website, but with the amount of dead notes in the Pedal, I doubt it gets much use. Many prepared stops, but based on the size of the chambers, I doubt there is space on the chests for them. -Julius Coyle
