Database Manager on September 27, 2007:

Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a tonal change to the church's existing 1900 Hook & Hastings Co. instrument, Opus 1869. The original Swell 8' Viola was rescaled, cut-down, de-bearded, and revoiced as a 2' Principal. The toeboard, slider, and chest were bored-out to be full-compass.
