2009-06-30 - Identified through online information from Weston Harris. -- Rebuild of the 1967 Abbott and Sieker that was a "temporary" organ after the church fire and building of a new church. It remained in the gallery without organ case. After the 1994 Northridge earthquake it was quite scattered and was fairly put back. The renovation rescaled some of the Abbott and Sieker 60's style pipework to a more English style and added pipes recently donated by the Joseph Horning Collection and from Venice Lutheran Church which has just suffered fire in the altar area. Their organ was deemed a total loss but as the wrecking balls would coming through the chamber walls several excellent ranks - singed but fine - were rescued. These are proudly displayed with their nice slightly-burnt coloring on the organ's new casework. 16' Principal (Haskell) is from the noted 1931 magnum opus of the Estey Company from the Bridges Auditorium/Claremont College. -Database Manager
