Database Manager on May 16th, 2019:
This entry describes a new home for an organ that was relocated without either tonal or mechanical changes. Identified by James R. Stettner, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Kerner & Merchant. The Wilhelm replaces a 1924 Wicks (Op. 507) whose renovation was contracted and in-progress when the Oratory asked to cancel the contract so that the Wilhelm could be purchased, and installed.
