2022-12-17 - The Cornell Zimmer Organbuilders website states, "Originally built as a tracker (mechanical action) instrument, the organ was later converted to electro-mechanical action. When the new sanctuary was built in 1987, much of the pipework from the Pilcher was used in new organ in the sanctuary. Of the original organ, only 3 ranks remained, a Principal 8’ in the great, Gemshorn 8’ (from tenor C) in the Swell, and a 16’ Bourdon, which overpowered the remaining stops." The pipe organ was replaced with a new digital instrument in 2004. -Jim Stettner
