Notes
2006-12-27 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Casavant replaced a used, 2/11 1908 Estey that was installed second hand. The Casavant is installed in large chambers across the front which are covered by thick, red, velvet drapes which seriously dampen tonal egress and room acoustics. -Database Manager
2012-03-08 - Updated through online information from Jesse Zylstra. -- Multi-level combination action (a later upgrade to the organ, according to a plaque). A zimbelstern was also added to the instrument. The instrument is also equipped with Maas Cathedral Chimes. Instrument is well maintained and used on a regular basis. The red drapes which were previously installed in the sanctuary that caused the sound to be dampened have been removed. -Database Manager
