This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location

Paul R. Marchesano on March 14th, 2024:

Updated with online information from Benjamin Smith on 2024-03-13.
I visited 02/19/2024, and the organ is still extant and playable, though some repairs are needed (such as the Zimbelstern not working well). The acoustics of the location are poor, and erase lots of the bass. The Positiv is enclosed. The circulating tuning system is interesting, thanks to the last chair of the music department.

Database Manager on February 22nd, 2014:

Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- The organ was tonally modified by the addition of a 16' Contrabass, due to low bass response in new location, and slightly reconfigured (moving the Positiv in closer to the main case) in order to meet the architectural constraints of the new location.

Database Manager on February 22nd, 2014:

Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock.

Database Manager on January 6th, 2014:

Altered and relocated existing organ.
Identified by Didier Grassin, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
