2018-03-05 - Updated by Shawn P. Keith, who gave this as the source of the information: Parts in my inventory.<br> At least one offset windchest and possibly a few ranks of pipes from this organ were used in the rebuilding of M.P. Moller Opus 1276 at North Presbyterian in Lansing (database entry 41237) ca. 1975 by Scott Wheeler. That organ has since been broken up for parts. -Database Manager
