DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Work done by Milnar Organ Co. in 2012 included a new 2' Swell IV Mixture in the Swell and the old Swell 1' Mixture IV moved to the Choir, replacing the III Cymbal; the Choir 8' Tromba and the 32' Bombarde octave were sent to the reed voicer for new tongues.
Database Manager on May 24th, 2007:
Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Conversion of the console to solid state. MIDI compatible. Tonal additions/changes (?). Number of finger pistons & toe studs was not altered from the original. But the coupler rail has been modified and there are additional drawknobs that were not present during my June 1987 documentation.
