Notes
2004-10-30 - Allen console, Austin pipe division, 32 "rk" of digital voices by Allen. Jonathan Tuuk was consultant. -Database Manager
2008-03-12 - Updated through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i>Replaced twice rebuilt Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1042 (1942), with five manual Allen console and thirty-eight ranks of electronic voices.</i> -Database Manager
2009-06-30 - Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -Database Manager
2010-06-10 - Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The instrument retains the Antiphonal division from the church's previous organ. The organ was given by Richard and Helen De Vos in memory of Helen's parents, George and Wilma Van Wesep, who were long-time members of La Grave. -Database Manager
2019-06-29 - A Tuba Mirabilis rank was added to the Solo division in 2017 and was dedicated at the morning worship service on October 8. It was built by Chris Broome of Broome and Company and was installed by Haan Pipe Organ Service. The stop was a gift from Richard and Helen De Vos, the original donors of the organ. The Tuba Mirabilis has its own wind supply and is unenclosed. Because there was not sufficient space to put the stop in the actual Solo division, it is located in the chamber on the west side instead. The new stop can be coupled to the Swell, Great, Choir, or Pedal. -Database Manager
