Notes

2025-01-08 - This entry represents the re-installation of an existing organ for the original parish in a new location. Identified through online information from Burton K. Tidwell (January 6, 2025): The original building was destroyed because of the crosstown thruway in the late 1990s; the organ was placed in storage and then installed when the new building was completed in the early 2004. Casavant added a larger scale Bourdon 16 to the Pedal using the Quintade knob; and a full-length Trombone 16 also was added using the Chimes borrow knob. The original electro-pneumatic was retained with its own blower added. (FYI: This information is documented my book Lawrence Phelps Organbuilder - OHS Press 2015). -Jim Stettner
