Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:

[Keraulophon 73:1 shows this organ as Orgelbau Oberbergern - old name for firm?] Church also has 4 rk positive Hradetzky. [Ed.: The builder website lists this organ as 2 manuals and 29 stops. There is an entry for the Positiv organ of 4 ranks.]

[Ed.; 07-03-2025: The .pdf stoplist document on the church's website is poorly formatted, with connected items separated on two lines giving false impressions. It should correctly read: Gerhard Hradetzky Orgelbau - Oberbergern, Austria].
