Notes

2009-08-20 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built in 1946 as a 10-rank instrument for the congregation's previous facility. It was expanded by two ranks and moved to the new building in 1963. It was expanded further by adding 17 ranks and a pipe facade in 1980. It is likely that the console was reconfigured to a 3-manual instrument during this expansion. -Database Manager
