Database Manager on August 4th, 2009:

This entry represents the installation of a used organ with tonal changes/additions. Identified through on-line information from Jack Umholtz. -- This organ, Austin Opus 411 minus Echo, was purchased from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Columbia, PA., where it was installed in the late 1940's/early 1950's. Most of the pipework from Austin 411 was installed on Electro-Pneumatic chests and was configured to fit in the available space. A totally new Great chorus was installed.
