Database Manager on March 11, 2007:

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Three-sectional facade containing 17 pipes arranged: 5-7-5. All were originally speaking pipes. In the installation at St. Ignatius, the center facade pipes had to be sawn-off to fit under the low ceiling. So only the two side flats are now speaking. These comprise bass GG thru tenor E of the Great 8' Open Diapason. Notes 1 - 7 are substitute pipes tubed-off inside the case. All new engraved faces for stops were included in the Bond rebuild. The original foot levers for Great Piano and Great Forte are no longer present. While the original builder is not known, it is thought that the instrument might possibly be a Moline - rebuilt by Geo. Kilgen & Son in 1901.
