Notes
2008-09-26 - Identified through on-line information from Stephen Hall. -- Organ renovated in 2008 by Bob Arndt (Arndt Organ Supply) with help from members of the congregation. Case restored by David Hikes. (information from article in Estherville Daily News, dated Sept. 24, 2008) -Database Manager
2008-11-21 - Updated through on-line information from John Panning. -- This is a Style 150 that was originally installed in the Sun Theater in York, Nebraska. A number of electronic voices were added at some point, and the tube-based tone generators and amplifiers, though non-functional, were still in the chamber at the time of my visit. The console bears a label reading "Haygren Electronic Ensemble". I understand that Robert Arndt has performed some work on the organ subsequent to my visit. -Database Manager
2012-06-14 - Updated through online information from Will Dunklin. -- Style 150 was 2 manuals and pedal with 5 ranks in one chamber. The ranks were Tibia Clausa, Concert Flute, Salicional, Trumpet and Vox Humana. A 6th rank on this organ must be a later addition. -Database Manager
