DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Paul Marchesano. -- The original mechanical combination machine is extant but disconnected from the stop action, apparently in 1878 with the addition of a Choir division and third manual. Damage from ceiling falling in is being worked on currently by church volunteers advised by amateurs.
