Database Manager on November 9th, 2016:

Updated through online information from Ronald J. Damholt. The information for the original placement of this organ (Shell residence) correctly indicates that the instrument contains 9 ranks, whereas the information for St. Paul's by the Lake reduces the ranks to 4. In fact, all 9 ranks of pipework remain intact.


Database Manager on September 13th, 2015:

Organ relocated without any change. Identified by Thomas Bruce Robson, based on personal knowledge of the organ.


Database Manager on September 2nd, 2015:

Built in 1994 for residence of M. David & M. Shell in Evanston, Illinois. Donated in 2013 to the St. Paul's Church by-the-Lake, Chicago.
