Exhibited in the 1976 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location

Jim Stettner on August 17th, 2021:
Identified from the 1976 OHS Convention Handbook. This was the returning of the organ to its 1816 state after alterations to the organ by Thoms Dieffenbach in 1886. The detached, reversed console was returned to a recessed keydesk, and the pedalboard, Subbass, and Pedal case were removed. The larger 1886 reservoir was also replaced. The organ was also brought forward.
