NOTES
The church's previous pipe organ was a II-manual, 4-rank, ca. 1947 M.P. Möller
“Artiste.” The four ranks were: Diapason, Gedeckt, Salicional, and Trumpet. It
was destroyed when it fell through the floor into the basement during a fire that
destroyed the building on October 19, 1974.
The organ is installed in a chamber on the front wall of the sanctuary at the left
end. Two banks of expression shutters speak both directly into the sanctuary and to
the left side where the choir sits. The console is beneath the sanctuary shutter
opening with the organist facing into the congregation.
The Great Mixture is III ranks throughout even though the tablet is engraved II.
The Sw. 8' Spitz Gamba Celeste also draws the 8' Spitz Gamba when registered.
