DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Brian Colton. -- The organ survived a roof collapse some years ago, but the screening in front of the chambers was ruined. It was replaced with perforated sheet metal, which stifles the sound getting to the sanctuary. The original Austin music rack was destroyed in the collapse, and it was replaced with a similar unit, but not as nice as the original, in my opinion.
