Updated through online information from Nik Stackpole (June 30, 2025): I visited the church on 6/30/2025. The Muller Organ Company completed a re-build of this instrument in 2024 including a brand new console as well as a new antiphonal division in the balcony.

Database Manager on February 9th, 2017:
Updated by Paul Monachino, who has heard or played the organ. Nearly unplayable in the mid-1980's, significant restorative repairs and re-leathering were carried out by Sam Koontz from 1988-1992. Much of the organ still requires restoration. The organ was initially scheduled for installation in the Fall of 1930, but this was delayed until the Winter of 1931. Plans for a thorough and complete restoration await funding. - Paul Monachino, Director of Music/Organist, Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral.

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
Reported incorrectly that is was "Restored by Samuel Koontz 1990." Koontz carried out significant restorative repairs and re-leathering from 1988 to 1992 bringing the instrument back to playable condition, but did not make a complete restoration.
