Notes

2009-07-31 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was dedicated during the evening service on June 2, 1985. Jonathan Tuuk gave a dedicatory concert that same year. The Great organ is in the right hand chamber of the chancel, and the Swell is under expression in the left chamber. The exposed pipes have a flamed copper color. The organ replaced a 13-rank Mutchler pipe organ, which was too small for the room, tonally inadequate, and whose console was failing. A few ranks of pipes from the Mutchler organ were used in the Wicks instrument. -Database Manager
