Database Manager on May 10th, 2012:
Updated through online information from Joseph Downing. -- First Presbyterian Church United had its final regular service on Easter Sunday, 2012, and a final "Celebration of Ministry" service on May 6, 2012. The organ was in virtually perfect condition for both these services. A new congregation leasing the building has no interest in the organ, and the organ is up for sale. Karl Wilhelm attended the celebration service. He does not wish the organ to be altered in any way for a new home. The organ also has an original Zimbelstern of Indian brass bells, and a Rossignol.
Database Manager on February 24th, 2012:
Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The church is closing in April (April 8th is last service), and the organ and building are both for sale (separately). (Source: Syracuse Post Standard on-line edition, article dated Feb 23, 2012, accessed same date.)
