2017-08-11 - Updated by Christopher Fasulo, who maintains the organ. Manuals: C1 to G5 Pedals: C1 to F3 The pipe organ at Holy Comforter Lutheran Church is a 2-manual, tracker style instrument of 14 ranks, located in the rear of the sanctuary. It was built in 1976 by the firm Karl Wilhelm, Inc., now located in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Province of Québec, Canada. The handsome solid white oak case design serves musically to focus and project the sound of the pipes. The tonal design, voicing and finishing of the pipes was done by Christophe Linde. The organ was installed by Christophe Linde and Jacques L'Italien. -Database Manager

2023-08-29 - At last Saturday's meeting of the Hilbus Chapter I learned that the church has closed and is not being maintained. Instrument may be at risk. -Richard Strattan
