Identified through online information from Douglas W. Craw. -- This instrument replaced a 1925 4 manual Austin with a number of ranks being carried over from the Austin - most notable being the 32' Bombarde and 32' Bourdon in the Pedal and all of the pipework in the Antiphonal Divisions in the rear gallery which include the original Austin Universal Air Chests. Tonal modifications were performed by Burger & Shafer from 1978-1981 which included turning the Fanfare Division into the Solo Division. Additional revoicing, console modifications and installation of solid state combination action and coupling systems were performed by Jerroll Adams in 1991/1992. In 1995 several ranks of the Great and Positive Divisions were rescaled with new pipes.
