2009-05-27 - Updated through information from Michael Way: -- I was interim organist at one time. Johnson was the original builder but someone unknown to me had electrified it. The organ was damaged due to some "unknown cause" so some of the pipe work did not speak. The damage seemed random and was never sufficiently explained to me. -Database Manager
2012-07-16 - Updated through online information from David Lewis. -Database Manager
