Database Manager on December 30th, 2010:

Updated through online information from Charles Kennedy. -- Minor tonal alterations were made in 1988 by Guzowski and Steppe: The original Great Sesquialtera was relocated to the Choir division as an independent 2-2/3' and 1-3/5' (replacing, respectively, a 2' Octave and the original Choir 1-3/5' Terz), and was in turn replaced by a new Cornet II of larger scale. The console was updated with a new combination action by Solid State Logic in 1992. Tonal and mechanical renovation of this organ (with some additions) by Quimby Pipe Organs is to be completed in the summer 2011.

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is tonally and mechanically unaltered, but the console has been refurbished with an SSL solid state combination action. One extra blank drawknob was added to each division during this conversion. (Originally documented May, 1985)
