Coupler Bellows Signal The congregation was initially Swedish, and the organ was installed about a year after the present building was built According to records in the Brown County Historical Society (New Ulm, MN), the organ cost $1000. Installed in the balcony, the organ remains nearly as built, down to the intact stencilling on the facade pipes; the only obvious changes are the removal of two composition pedals, and the addition of a chimes unit on its own keyboard. The Viol and the Salicional each have 12 stopped basses, and the Dulciana takes its bottom octave from the Viol The Doppel Flute, Stop'd Diapason and Bourdon are of wood, while the rest of the pipes are spotted metal or zinc.
