DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
There is little documentary evidence that describes this organ, but surviving photographs do allow some inferences to be made. Additionally, contracts in the church archives, tendered at the time of the 1931 modifications, contain other implications that are of value.
Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
Electrified in 1923 by local affiliates of Austin Organ Co. Significantly altered 1931 by M. P. Möller. Replaced by Schantz Organ Co., 1960. Two ranks retained (32' Bourdon and Vox Humana).
