Julius Coyle on September 13th, 2023:
Almost entirely tonally unaltered from 1875. The only exceptions are the Swell 8' Quintadena, which from tenor C up has been replaced with Salicional pipes tuned as a celeste with the original Hook and Hastings Salicional. Also, the Choir 8' Rohr Flute has been replaced by Andover with pipes scaled to match the Rohr Flute in the Hook and Hastings at St. Joseph's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY.

Electrified c. 1929 (?) by William W. Laws using a second-hand theater organ console, probably by Frazee. Cleaning and repairs by volunteers & Lahaise 1990-96. Proposal out in 2001 for new console.
