Updated through online information from Joseph G. Zamberlan.
To the best of my knowledge, this organ was NOT rebuilt by Joe Humpe – he lost the rebuilding bid to Austin in the late 1980's. Also, his firm is in Richmond, OH, not Wintersville.

Database Manager on February 17, 2006:

Updated through on-line information from Todd Gresick. -- This is the organ that I first played as a beginning organ student and a as a chorister there in the early to mid 1960s. I have followed its several transformations over the years. Most recently I visited the church and played the instrument in the summer of 2005. The organ was altered in the 1950s, again in the 1970s, then restored / rebuilt by Austin in 1988, with a new Great Principal chorus and reed, new Trompette en Chamade and several other new ranks. New console in 1988 which was a duplicate of the original. The Echo division located to the side of the main altar is presently unplayable.
