Paul R. Marchesano on June 27th, 2024:

The 1964 Schlicker (designed by Dr. Paul G. Bunjes) was indeed installed in its current location and retains much of its original appearance and pipework. The most notable visual changes over the years were the addition of the en chamade reed (Trompeta Real) by Berghaus in 1978, the six tall copper facade pipes installed by Berghaus ca. 1994 in replacement of structurally-failing zinc pipes, and now the new console from this latest 2023 rebuild. The balcony area itself was significantly renovated during this project. The new chimes are also mounted on the external sides of the case due to very tight quarters in the chambers.
