Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield.


Database Manager on August 11th, 2010:

Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ had modifications over the years, including the replacement of its Echo division. When the Cathedral received new instruments in 2002, the Pilcher organ was placed in storage and put up for sale. At least some ranks, however, were eventually sold off, including some reeds stops that were sold to Cutlerville East Christian Reformed Church, also in Grand Rapids.


Database Manager on September 4th, 2005:

On-line update from David Kinyon -- New instruments installed in cathedral in 2001. Pilcher was relocated to another church but no information on where location is.


Database Manager on April 7th, 2005:

Identified through information in Volume VI p. 5 of the Pilcher factory ledger and the list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below.
