Notes
2005-06-29 - This Organ identified through information received from Randall Dyer. Rebuild and enlargement of churchÂ’s 1977 Reuter for new building. -Database Manager
2007-10-29 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- At the time of its installation and dedication, the Solo division controlled only the Trompette-en-Chamade and a Harp. The 8' Flute Harmonique, 8' Viola Pomposa, 8' Viola Celeste, and V Cornet were all prepared-for. The organ was dedicated in concert by three organists on November 13, 1988. -Database Manager
2012-06-25 - Updated through online information from Randall S. Dyer. -- When the organ was moved into the new sanctuary from the former sanctuary, the pipes and chests of the Reuter were dispersed throughout the Swell and Choir. Pipes and chests of the Great, as well as the copper facades, are new. -Database Manager
