Updated by William Dunklin, who has heard or played the organ. The 16\' Pedal Bourdon and 8\' Swell Celeste were retained from the church\'s Pilcher organ.

Database Manager on February 18th, 2017:
Updated by Scott Crowell, naming this as the source of information: November 2009 American Organist, pages 64-65. <br> This was intended to be an Aeolian-Skinner organ, but the company went bankrupt before the organ was completed. Robert Sipe finished and installed the organ 1973. The organ was restored in 2009 by Taylor & Boody Organbuilders.

Database Manager on July 5th, 2008:
Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> Mechanical action; has both AEolianSkinner and Robert Sipe nameplates.</i>
