Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1995 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Old Op. No. 1322. Renovated 1985 by Brian Fowler. -Database Manager

2010-08-12 - Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The restoration work in 1985 involved rebuilding the feeder bellows and reservoir, cleaning and repairing the pipework, restoring the action, replacing the blower, and tonal finishing. It was done in memory of Otto Batson. In recent years, new bellows were installed by Richard Swanson. The organ has a rich, powerful sound in a room with good acoustics. -Database Manager
