Notes

2005-07-18 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- 824 pipes. The new Wicks was installed after a sanctuary renovation which changed the interior orientation. The former rear gallery became the right end of the church. Replaced a II-manual, 5-rank Balcom and Vaughan unit pipe organ. -Database Manager

2007-06-27 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is installed atop a pedestal bass at the front, center of the room. The bass contains the blower, relay, regulators, etc. Atop the pedestal at the back is the Swell with the exposed Great and Pedal registers in front in symmetrical display, excepting 1-12 of the 16' Subbass which are solely on the left, outside of the Swell enclosure. -Database Manager
