Notes

2024-07-16 - This entry represents an essentially 'new' organ created from disparate parts. Identified through online information from Andrew Kessinger (July 15, 2024): St Louis contains an additional 44 rank organ in the gallery of the main nave. Most components were purchased from and installed by Ballard Organs. Organ installed mid-1990s. Pilcher swell box. Most pipe work salvaged from a 1956 Kilgen, 1951 Moller, and Aeolian Skinner. One Harmonic Flute rank circa 1860s Cavaille-Coll. Console is Rodgers Trillium and is a hybrid system using digital voices. Stoplist to come at later date. -Jim Stettner
