DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The console appears to be the two-manual console that Moller built for A-9030, modified through the addition of a new stop rails, Schlicker-style rocker/tilting stop tabs, and a Swell shoe for the Great -- that isn't enclosed. The stoplist, however, appears to be taken from the Great and Swell original installation, Möller Opus 9030. Good placement, though the chambers are cramped, and the sound is good in the room.

Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- In 1973, a 2/27 gallery organ was added as Möller Op. A-9030; a large renovation project was undertaken by Möller in 1990 as Op. R-202, including a new console; the organ was replaced in 1995 by Reuter 4/105 Op. 2175, retaining the best of the existing pipework.
