Notes
2004-10-30 - The original builder was Steere & Turner (1903). -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1997 -Database Manager
2007-05-03 - Updated through online information from Paul A. Law. -- In 1959, Tellers replaced the tubular pneumatic primary action with electric primary. The Steere secondary pneumatics and all pipe work were retained. Two pipes were added to each of six pedal stops to bring them from 30 to 32 notes. A new console was installed. In 1998 several Steere stops were swapped out to make the sound "louder." In 2000, three softer pedal stops were added on a new chest. The organ is used weekly at mass. -Database Manager
