DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Michael Hayes: I returned home to FUMC of Okeechobee to play a funeral. The organ has not had routine maintenance or tuning since 2020. It's sad to see the organ I started organ lessons on in 1979 and was instrumental in the expansion of, being neglected.
