This is a rebuild of an existing organ.
Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- This was a project of some refurbishing of existing equipment. Tonal additions and changes were made. A new Peterson solid state relay and combination action were installed, though all coupler functions are still accomplished by the original 1923 stop slides behind the keys. In the Swell, a new 4' Spill Flute was added and the original 4' Flauto Traverso was transposed as the 2' Piccolo, but someone has subsequently reversed this. Other additions were also made to all three divisions.
