Notes

2010-01-11 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- All of the pipes from the church's previous Wangerin organ were used in this instrument, but additional pipes and digital stops were also added. The console is a used Möller Artiste console, although the pedal board is from a different used instrument. -Database Manager
