Notes
2007-07-09 - Updated through on-line information from John Gouwens. -- I am the organist, and planned out the details of the most recent renovation. -Database Manager
2008-03-21 - Updated through on-line information from John Gouwens. -- A few recent (February 2008) improvements have been made. I'll E-Mail a revised text file. Thanks! -Database Manager
2012-04-18 - Updated through online information from John Gouwens. -- In the fall of 2011, a few additional modifications were made. A new (full 73-note) Flute Celeste was added to the Swell (to pair with the Flute Conique), and the two ranks together were duplexed to the Solo. Sostenuto controls were added to the Swell and Pedal, unit action was added to the Clarinet rank, and it was also duplexed (from the Choir) to the Solo (supplanting the Cor d'Amour 16' knob on the Solo). -Database Manager

M. P. Möller opus 8168, 1951; Fabry, Inc. 2006
These sound clips are a generous gift from Mr. John Gouwens, who performed and recorded them. Mr. Gouwens serves as Organist and Carilloneur of the Culver Academies. The sound clips were recorded using a Schoeps MK 21 microphone feeding a Zoom H4 digital recorder, recording directly to 160 bit mp3 format.
For more information on this organ, see http://faculty.culver.org/~gouwenj/organcarillon.asp
