"Considerable work was undertaken in the present
restoration program. All primaries, chest pneuma-
tics and ventils were removed, taken to the shops
and releathered. The flue pipes were repaired and
tuning slides were installed. The leather was re-
moved from the Great First Diapason and the upper
lips were renewed. The reed stops were given new
tongues and were revoiced by James Nuttall, natio-
nally known reed voicer. The specification remains
unchanged from the 1903 rebuilding with two excep-
tions - the old Swell Viol d'Amour has been sof-
tened and tuned to form a second celeste and
Chimes have been installed. The entire work has
been under the supervision of Kenneth R. Simpson,
superintendent of the Kilgen organization, in
conjunction with David Craighead. The inaugural
on the restored organ by Mr. Craighead took place
December 9."
