DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The published Austin opus list (of 1999) lists this organ as being 2-manuals and 21 registers. Actually, this was a rebuild, electrification, and enlargement of the existing previous Austin, opus 41, 1900 for the new edifice. Almost all of the original pipework was retained. Some was swapped between divisions, and a few new ranks were added.
