Instrument was rebuilt by Austin with additions in 2016-2017. Additionally, all manual and pedal reed stops were returned to the shop for renovation and revoicing. The console was rebuilt with a new solid-state system with a multi-level combination, piston sequencer, MIDI, and a recording system with playback.
