Notes

Database Manager on February 18, 2014:

Identified through online information from John Igoe.  -- Restoration of previously electrified organ of 1882 through replicated tracker action in the style of Johnson & Son. The original pedal compass was enlarged and the organ was re-pitched to A=440.
