2013-09-16 - Updated through online information from John C. Ball. -- Organ had its double rise reservoir and feeders releathered by Miller Pipe Organ Co., Louisville, Ky. in 2009 or 2010 -Database Manager

2022-01-17 - "The Gemshorn 4' is cylindrical and is really a small-scale principal. The pipes are marked "Gemshorn." Each string rank has seven stopped zinc basses; thus the pipes become full-length at G8. It is very clear that no expense was spared in building the organ. The joinery and panelling of the Swell box is of wainscoting quality." -- *1993 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
