Database Manager on January 30th, 2016:

Updated through online information from John Igoe.
In Bynum Petty's book, this organ is identified with opus number 1460.5.

Database Manager on April 6th, 2005:

Appears to be one of those cases where Pilcher rebuilt or modified one of their earlier organs. The '1/2' Opus number usually indicates that. Identified through information in Volume IV p. 144 of the Pilcher factory ledger and a list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. See the document referenced below.

Database Manager on April 6th, 2005:

This may have been only the addition of Chimes to Op. 880.
