Database Manager on April 10th, 2010:

Identified through on-line information from William Parker. -- The original instrument was moved to its present location in the mid 1920s; the Pilcher was a rebuild of that. In 1989 the Chapel Organ Co. of Winston-Salem, NC was selected to rebuild and enlarge the old Pilcher. All of the original eleven ranks were rebuilt and reused and eleven new ranks and a Zimbelstern were added. A rebuilt Austin console was obtained and the organ was used (after a year's absence) for the first time during the morning worship service on September 9, 1990. As of April, 2010 our congregation was informed that extensive work needed to be done on the leather used in the organ since a widening tear had developed over the years since its renovation.
