Laukhuff GmbH. The organ was voiced and tonally finished by Allan Van Zoeren of Portland, OR. Mr. Van Zoeren had a Gemshorn unit he was willing to sell to the church for only $500.00 but the church declined to spend the additional funds, so that stop was a full preparation awaiting only pipes. The only unexpressive pipes are the 12-pipe extension for the 16' Bourdon, the 8' Prin- cipal unit, the 4' Choral Bass, and pipes 1-11 of the Swell 2' Principal. The Swell division was originally under expression, but whomever built the shutters for Mr. Goetz used unseasoned lumber which warped badly and no longer fit properly – so they were removed. Before Mr. Goetz moved to Daytona Beach, Florida, he added an 8' Oboe to the organ on the prepared-for Gemshorn windchest. Again, the church declined to expend funds for properly-engraved rocker tablets, so the 16' octave plays from the Pedal 5⅓' rocker tablet, and the manual 8' Oboe plays on the Swell only from the 1' Sifflöte rocker tablet. The top octave of treble pipes is missing. The Oboe pipes were from Jacques Stinkens in Holland. The mutation stops are engraved in red print. The organ does have a 10-level memory. A plaque at the console reads: The Junior Haberman Memorial Organ Elmer Goetz.
