Notes
2024-02-19 - This entry represents tonal changes to an existing organ. Unknown what (if any) mechanical changes may have been made. Identified from notes on the original instrument listing. -Jim Stettner
2024-02-19 - Pedalboard is flat and parallel, but with radiating sharps. -Jim Stettner
2024-02-19 - Updated through online information from Kurt Tadich: The organ is fully functional and operational. However, it is not played regularly for church services. It was last tuned in 2021. The Great has a very clear and bright 8' Trumpet. It is a straight pedalboard. -Jim Stettner
