Updated through online information from James R. Stettner.
Database Manager on November 28th, 2006:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Mr. Rich was the Möller representative for a time before Harold B. Curryer. This was additions to the existing 1952 Möller organ. A new 4' Spitz Principal playing only on the Swell was placed in the chamber on the former Open Diapason chest. The Open Diapason from tenor C was relocated to new, diatonically divided chests at the front of the room on either side of a window. A new III Mixture was also placed here. The O.D. bass remained in the chamber. And a Gt. tenor C 8' Dulciana duplexed as Sw. 8' Aeoline was added on a new chest in the chamber. The wind system addd for the exposed pipework is poorly designed and inadequate. The feeding windline was tapped from weighed wind - not static wind. So the Mixture literally can not be tuned and remain stable due to horribly 'flexible' wind.
