Updated through online information from Winston Ryan Keith.
In the first quarter of 2016, the 1917 Pilcher Opus 930 organ at Wake Forest Baptist Church was updated and renovated by Lincoln Pipe Organs or Lincolnton, North Carolina.
The purpose was to enhance the existing Pilcher organ's tonal resources and update the console. This was accomplished by using existing and replacement pipes purchased from Austin Opus 2381 and the addition of Walker Technical Company digitally recorded pipe voices. The console carcass was kept and refitted with all new components.
Database Manager on October 4th, 2007:
Updated through on-line information from Daniel Ponder. -- The console was rebuilt and other adjustments and repairs were made by J. McConnell within the past 10 years or so.
Database Manager on April 7th, 2005:
Identified through information in Volume V p. 112 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.
