Visited the organ today and everything is in good working order
Roman Lizak on October 29th, 2021:
The organ was first installed in a chamber to the left side of the Altar in the chancel. Supposedly moved to its current location in the balcony sometime during the 1970's
Database Manager on January 2nd, 2020:
The factory specification stated "The specification includes a console already delivered to Mr. J. A. Hebert of Detroit, Mich. and which shall be attached to organ."
Database Manager on November 4th, 2009:
Updated through online information from Charles Kennedy. -- I have two corrections to the printed stoplist. On the Great, instead of a 4' Violina, there is a 4' Principal. On the Swell, in addition to the other stops listed, there is a 4' Violina. I would also noted that both the Violin Diapason and Melodia are unenclosed.
Database Manager on September 28th, 2009:
Updated through information received via e-mail from Ray Ahrens. -- There isn't a nameplate, on the organ, but the proposal is on stationery from "Casavant Brothers, Ltd." No identifying marks anywhere on the console, and it looks atypical for a Casavant -- resembles a chopped Hammond! One hand-written addition gives the number of pipes with a French word (tuyaux), but the remainder is all in English.
Database Manager on September 27th, 2009:
Identified through on-line information from Ray Ahrens. -- Contract indicates 32 Pedal notes
