DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Geoffrey Liu (July 16, 2025): The instrument does indeed have a 32’ Resultant stop but it does not function as of 2023.
Database Manager on August 15th, 2012:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is in need of attention. Most of the 16' and 8' open basses have sagging languids. The mitres of the Great 16' Gemshorn are poorly supported and are collapsing on themselves.
Database Manager on October 25th, 2006:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was tonal revisions and additions to the existing 1965 B and V organ.
