Notes
2023-09-30 - This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Installed without tonal changes.
Two "Spoleto" models were built by Ruffatti. One was owned by Bob Hebble and one was owned by Pete Sides, Ruffatti and Rodgers representative in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Little is known about the provenance of this instrument, other than Jon and Greg Lester of Akron, Ohio, took possession of it early in 2023. The organ was unplayable due to a bad relay so they replaced the original relay with a Peterson relay and made preparation for an addition of an 8' Principal (notes 1-12). Installation by David Nelms. -Monty Bennett
