Notes

2009-06-24 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- Tracker touch on the keyboards. The Great is exposed, the Pedal partially so. The Swell division is under expression in the left chamber. The Choir division is under expression in the right chamber. The specifications and aesthetic appearance of the organ was designed by Arther C. Strahle, District Manger for the Schantz Organ Company in the midwest area. The organ was enlarged slightly and changed to a solid state system in 2003 by David Skinner. -Database Manager
