Notes

Database Manager on December 13, 2010:

The organ was installed in phases, with the console and new Great and Pedal as the first phase; the old Swell and Choir were hooked to the new console and were replaced by the new swell and Choir divisions as funds permitted; the Echo is not presently playable.
