Database Manager on July 21, 2011:

Updated through online information from John Green. -- I attended a worship service at the church in 1965 and examined the organ following the service. The organ had a very full and robust sound, and the organist was very proficient. The organ was 4 manuals, and probably around 40 stops. The reeds were quite bright for an organ of this era, and typical of Hall's tonality.
