Notes
2008-05-28 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager
2014-02-06 - Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -- The Möller organ was destroyed in a fire. -Database Manager
2019-07-12 - Updated by Rodney Levsen, who maintains the organ. This organ is not destroyed and never was, we have been caring for this organ since 2002 and is still playing for the congregation. -Database Manager
2024-10-29 - From the parish website [seen 2024-10-29], "Our worship committee brought to the church session a proposal to begin the restoration of our church pipe organ. Anita Meinert, Worship Chair has shown that the organ is difficult to play with many of its components not working. The proposal is to fix the original organ as its lifespan would be longer than an electronic organ and would not need software of updates for it to run. The committee also has plans for the beautiful pipes of our organ [to] be displayed in our sanctuary. This organ is 70 years old, and we would like to preserve this historic instrument for another 70 plus years to come!" -Jim Stettner
