DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated by Stanley Ashworth, who maintains the organ.
Swell ranks have 73 note range and the flute rank is 97 notes.
The Barckhoff 1884 organ was damaged in a fire that swept the church ,and the Pilcher organ used 7 ranks of pipes from the old organ,adding 3 new ranks.All the rest was new in 1932. The organ was replaced in 1971 and moved to my residence in Greensboro,NC where I maintain it. It is played regularly.
