2009-06-24 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- Modifications to and enlargement of existing Schantz organ. 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. David Skinner changed the the organ to solid state system with MIDI capabilities, 128 levels of memory, additional pistons, and a transposer. In addition, 29 pipes were added to the 16' Pedal Principal so it could play on the Great for a fuller sound. An electronic 12-note 32' Contra Bombard was also added to the pedal. -Database Manager
