Notes

Database Manager on May 20, 2019:

Updated by Tom McNeil, who has heard or played the organ.  In addition Tom McNeil gave this as a source of information: I am a piano restoration specialist, and also a low brass player.  I’ve performed with this organ a half a dozen times.  I’m reporting that this organ was apparently designed for about A=435 Hz, and sometimes plays a bit below that, e.g., 434 Easter 2019.
