DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Wicks installed the original Opus 4847 in 1969; it was damaged by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, rebuilt by Wicks in 1990 retaining the same opus number although it was considerably altered; Positiv was enclosed, some ranks moved or replaced, and the historic Henry Erben instrument in the rear gallery was connected to the main organ by electric pull downs so that it can serve as an Antiphonal division. NOTE: The rank count includes the Erben organ, counting the divided stops as single ranks.
