Notes

Database Manager on January 30, 2013:

Updated through online information from Jonathan M. Bowen.  -- In 1998, the organ was tonally and mechanically altered. The unenclosed great chest was re-tabled to play 6 ranks from the previous three. Two other chests have been installed to add two addtional ranks. Walker Technical Co. supplied the new console control system as well as the addition of digital stops.
