Notes
2023-11-26 - Organ is in working condition, used every Sunday. Needs to be tuned and its voicing regulated. The Trumpet is actually a decent volume to hold its own against principal 8/4/2, but is voiced very unevenly.
Very unpleasant console - music rack tilts steeply away from you, cannot adjust. Organist sits in a very confining box with limited accommodation for taller people. -Jack Lauderdale
2023-11-28 - This organ represents the tonal alteration and augmentation of an existing instrument. -Jim Stettner
