Visited this instrument April 3, 2022. Organ exists and is intact. Organ would not turn on when switch was flipped.

(Originally submitted April 20, 2020): In the late 1990's during the renovations of the upper church all masses were held in lower church and this organ was in use, though always in barely playable condition. I have heard it and played it, and my only memory was that it was barely playable.
