Database Manager on October 23rd, 2013:
Updated through online information from Dorothy Young Riess. -- The organ suffered extensive damage in May 2012 from a faulty sprinkler and much of it was returned to Von Beckerath in Germany for rebuild. The work was complete summer of 2013 and the first concert took place on 2013, Oct 11. A new console decreased the work of playing a tracker and all facade pipes were hand-polished. In fact, now it is better than before.
