Identified through online information from Carl D. Ruck. -- Updated by Carl D. Ruck, who has heard or played the organ. Carl D. Ruck also named this publication as a source of information: Organ rededication recital September 2016.

I am the current Minister of Music at this church so I know first-hand the details about the instrument. The original Aeolian-Skinner console was damaged in the Agnes Flood of 1972. All of the pipework was above the flood waterline, so the pipes were undamaged. A replacement console was built by Austin Organ Company. The Antiphonal Division (in the balcony) was added using pipes from the Presbyterian Church which was located across the street. The Presbyterian and Methodist congregations merged into one and became the "Church of Christ Uniting" in 1972. The Antiphonal Division pipes were made by Moller (year unknown) and added to the Aeolian Skinner organ when the two churches merged. Essentially, the Aeolian-Skinner instrument is in the front of the church, and the Moller pipes are in the balcony. The congregation enlarged the organ in 2016 by adding: Bombarde 16' and 8' on the Pedal Division, a 32' Resultant on the Pedal Division, a 8' Bombarde on Great Division, and a zymbelstern. The console was also updated with 126 multiple memory levels and solid state electronics.
