2006-01-09 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a rebuild and substantial enlargement of the existing 1923 Bennett organ which had been rebuilt and electrified earlier. The project was begun in 1992 but was not completed. The church had acquired for the church a used Möller, Op. 6133, 1933 from a closed church in the St. Louis vicinity. This organ was used to augment the Bennett. The Moller console replaced the original Bennett attached keydesk, and was retro-fitted with a new stop rail and Peterson solid state components. The original Bennett chest became the Great, and the Möller chests became the Swell in another chamber. The Moller chests were gutted and rebuilt with E-M action to match the Great action. Only the larger offset chests and the Vox Humana remained E-P. -Database Manager

2016-10-17 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. <br>Not long after following the work by Stettner, further work was done by Frans W.M. Bosman of Mosier organ. This work included new electro-mechnanical chests for the Swell replacing the converted Moller chests formerly installed, retaining the existing pipes with no further alterations or tonal changes.<br>The Swell is in a chamber on the second floor and to the left of the front platform with the enclosed Great in the previous central chamber located at platform level. The Pedal flues are outside of the Great enclosure and distributed around and on top of the box. The organ also has a blower made by the short lived White Organ Blower Co. of Lansing, MI. Immense blower noise and output turbulence (an unfortunate hallmark of White Blowers) are rather apparent. -Database Manager
