Database Manager on October 27th, 2015:
Updated through online information from James W Guyer. -- The below stoplist for this instrument labels it as "opus 2156", built in 1906 and references the January, 1908 edition of the New Music Review. Upon looking through a copy of this journal, the corrected date is 1907, and no opus number is given anywhere in the journal.<br><br>Additionally, Kimball used KPO (Kimball Pipe Organ) to catalog their instruments, not opus numbers. And placing this as KPO 2156 puts it out of sequence with other Kimball organs built around the same time.
