2009-11-09 - Updated through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The gallery organ in Dimnent Memorial Chapel was built in 1970 in the style of the 17th and 18th century Dutch organs; it has low wind pressure. The principal rank of pipes for each of the divisions is called the Prestant (show pipes) and are exposed. As one looks at the front of the instrument, the two side towers house the Pedaal, the upper central section houses the Bovenwerk, and the lower central section houses the Hoofdwerk. The organ was a gift from Edsko and Claire Hekman. -Database Manager
