Notes

2024-11-09 - The Kilgen instrument was incorporated into a II/14 Mutchler instrument in about 1968. All original Kilgen pipework, wind regulator, and chests were incorporated, with the Dulciana relocated to the Great division and replaced with a similar 8' Aeoline. In November 2024 the instrument was disabled, the console destroyed, and the remainder of the organ offered for sale. -Shawn P. Keith
