2016-09-24 - I am Don Hermanson, Organist-Choirmaster at First Lutheran/Galveston (since Jan 1990). Pilcher Opus 1334 was originally installed in the former nave in 1926, in celebration of the church's 75th anniversary (founded 1850). Installed at the front of the church, it had two manuals, 14 ranks. Left and right facades consisted of the 8' Great Diapason. It was moved to the new church in 1959. -Database Manager
