Console badly damaged by leaking water in the winter of 2018. To be repaired by the Fischers.

Database Manager on July 8th, 2009:
Updated through on-line information from Mark R. Fischer. -- Swell has a four note coupler extension. Pedal has a full 12 note super coupler (except Mixture)

Database Manager on June 5th, 2009:
According to the OHS PC Database, this was a complete rebuild, with new chests, of the 1907 Warren organ previously modified by Möller (1920s and 1970s).

Database Manager on June 5th, 2009:
Updated through on-line information from Fred Rueckert. -- Would it be fair to say the original Warren instrument is no longer there? The pipes (not made by Warren) are; however the instrument in the vault is made by OSI with the computer system by another company. The pipes have been re-used. It is now possible to play the instrument as it was in 1907, and also play is as it was altered in 1928 and 1972. 32' Bombarde added in 2003. The instrument was re-dedicated in 1993 as the Massey Memorial Pipe Organ.

Database Manager on August 11th, 2008:
Updated through on-line information from Fred Rueckert. -- More information for you. Ivory keys with 4 oz. touch, manual compass CC to C4, 61 notes, Pedal compass CCC TO G 32 notes, Contains a Saxophone (labial) and Viol d' Amour. This information does not include 32' Bombarde addition. The organ does have a 16' Bombarde listed in the pedal and listed as a 16' Tuba in the solo. -- the above information does NOT include 32' Bombarde added in 2003
