Paul R. Marchesano on September 22nd, 2023:
**Information provided by Larry Pruett:** The organ received a complete restoration (with no changes) by Columbia Organ Works in 2022. Unfortunately, another firm had releathered the reservoir a few years earlier and removed one set of ribs for the double rise. Funds were not available to releather this reservoir a second time. Our restoration work included re-tabling of the wind chests, cleaning and restoration of pipework, replacement of broken and damaged trackers, leather nuts and all other perishable components in the action. The quarter-sawn white oak casework was refinished and the original case pipe decorations were replicated.

**Updated by Steven Bartley, who maintains the organ.** This writer serviced the organ several times in the late 1970s. At that time, it was showing some age related problems, bleeds between notes, and an uneven key touch. Over all it was a very fine tonal fit to the room, which at that time was a balcony installation and good acoustics.
