Acccording to John Dower of Lincoln Pipe Organs, the 16' Sub Bass added to the Stevens in 2003 was from several sources. In 2021, Lincoln replaced it with the Pedal Sub Bass from Estey Opus 1270, 1914 - originally built for Reidsville Baptist in Reidsville, NC. and relocated to First Moravian in Greensboro, NC. at an undocumented date by an undocumented person or firm. The Estey was removed from the Moravian church in 2020.
