NOTES
The organ was originally installed in Southminster Presbyterian Church,
Tulsa, Oklahoma. It included pipework built by Stinkens and Giesecke,
chestwork by Organ Supply Industries and an all-electric Moller console.
Upon its move to Bridgeport Community Church, tonal changes were minimal:
the 2’ Waldflote moved from the Great to the Swell (being replaced by a 2’
Fifteenth) and a two-rank Sesquialtera supplanted the Great’s original 8’
Dolce, using a Nasat originally in the Swell along with new pipework for
the 1 3/5.Regrettably, it is not possible to display the information about the sponsor of this pipeorgandatabase entry or if there is a sponsor. Please see About Sponsors on Pipe Organ Database.
