Database Manager on October 24, 2008:

Identified through online information from Thomas L. DeLay. -- Organ was installed in 1995 with 32 ranks. 7 ranks are prepared for. In 2000, Schantz came back and added the Choir IV Cymbal Mixture, 8' Flute Celeste II, and electronics for the Pedal 32' Resultant. Yet to be added is a 4' Clarion or Rohr Schalmei to the Swell. Chimes were added last year.
