2022-05-07 - While this organ has a Moller opus number, the windchests are from the original 1903 Wangerin. Moller probably moved it into the current building in 1953 and provided a console and unit switches. The organ has not played since abour 2012 and the blower will not turn on. Console is in terrible condition, with many broken stop faces. Some pipes are damaged, most notable 16' Tuba pipes that have broken at the block. Some Clarinets have bent over. Congregation is down to about 15 members, although their school and daycare are fully operational. Information gathered by David Grandall during a personal visit on May 6, 2022. -David Engen

2022-05-08 - Personal visit by David Grandall on May 6, 2022. Chests are definitely NOT Moller but Wangerin, so we suspect they are from the original 1903 build. -David Engen

2022-06-20 - M-3987 correlates to this instrument. the original listed number of 4732 relates to another instrument from 1926 -Roman Lizak
