2005-09-19 - Online update from D. Keith Morgan via Randy Terry -- In the late 1960s, I worked on the installation of six Moller organs in Memphis. One of the men who worked with me was Jack Hale, who I think is now deceased. Jack Hale maintained the organ at Scottish Rite, and sometime in the 1950s, installed the Skinner console from Idlewood Presbyterian Church in Memphis. In the late 1960s, the Cathedral gave me the keyboards from the Moller console, one of which I still have. The pedal clavier was still there, but I had no way of getting it to New Orleans where I lived at the time. I don't know if it is still there. Sometime in the 1970s or 1980s, the E. M. Skinner console (1940) from the First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi was connected to the organ. I haven't been in Scottish Rite for many years. I don't know anything more about the organ -Database Manager
2010-03-15 - Updated through online information from Mark Henderson. -- Original Console replaced with 1940 E.M. Skinner 4 manual console. All controlling electrical combination action updated in 1995 with Peterson solid state. The organ has recently started getting necessary maintenance and is in use once again. It will need renovation/ restoration soon. -Database Manager
