Notes
2009-08-12 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ has had several improvements completed by Lauck Pipe organ company: new solid state switching system (1991), two new ranks (1993), and a new console and MIDI (2000). The console had previously been installed at Oakdale Park Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The console has tracker touch on the keyboards. -Database Manager
2022-06-11 - Due to chancel renovations and changes in the music program at the church, a farewell concert was given on Sunday, June 12th 2022 and the organ was removed on Monday, June 13th, 2022. It had been silent for about five years prior to the farewell concert. Originally listed at 13 ranks it was discovered to be only 11 when the organ was tuned for the final concert, with two ranks prepared for installation on the Great but never placed. Additionally, the MIDI system for the Choir manual was not in place (other than a Yamaha MDF3 unit) and may never have been completed. -Shawn P. Keith
