Online update from David Kinyon -- Due to ongoing renovations and repairs to the auditorium, both organs have been rendered totally unplayable. The main organ has for all intents and purposes been mostly unplayable since the late 1970s. Complete details on these instruments are available on the ACCHOS web site.
