NOTES
The organ was originally built by Mudler-Hunter Co., Inc. of Philadelphia, PA. in 1923
and cost $8,000.00 installed. It was placed in twin cases in the rear gallery.
In 1975, Balcom and Vaughan was contracted to make tonal changes to the instrument and
to provide a new console. The console was by Klann. The tonal orientation was altered
from orchestral to American Classic.
The original Mudler-Hunter chests were retained. On the Great, the 4' Octave occupied
the original 8' Doppel Flute toeboard. The II-III Mixture occupied the original 8' Viola
d'Gamba toeboard, capped. The original Swell 8' Clarinette [sic] was moved to the Great
and occupied the original 8' English Horn toeboard. The new 8' Principal was placed on
new unit chests. The other original ranks remained on their original toeboards.
On the Swell, the original 8' Stopped Diapason, 8' Salicional, and 8' Voix Celeste
remained on their original toeboards. The new 4' Spitz Principal went on the original 8'
Violin Diapason toeboard. The original 4' Flute Harmonic was reset as a 2' stop on its
original toeboard. The new 1-1/3' Nasat was placed on the original 8' Aeoline toeboard.
And the new 8' Trumpet went on the original 8' Clarinet toeboard. The original independent
16' Bourdon pipes and chests were retained, but only 1-32 were used for the Pedal 16' Lieb-
lich Gedeckt.
No changes were made to the existing Pedal ranks other than to make the original Mudler-
Hunter Great 8' Open Diapason into the Pedal 16' Open Diapason. The Pedal stoplist was
augmented with borrows from the new Great 8' Principal.
