Notes

2009-08-04 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by Schantz with 15 ranks. It was expanded a second time by Donald Haan when he added digital voices in 1997. The Great division of the organ is under expression in the right chamber, while the Swell division is under expression in the left. The digital stops are available on both manuals or the pedal. Speakers are located in the main chambers and also in the balcony for the echo sounds. A dedication concert for the expanded organ was held November 16, 1997, with Joanne Jansen at the console. -Database Manager
