Notes

2010-01-15 - Identified by Riley Wes Mitchell from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -Database Manager

2010-07-06 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Paul Bunjes was consultant. -Database Manager

2017-07-22 - The organ is unaltered from the original installation except for the addition of a Zimbelstern. It is operated by a thumb piston to the right of the Chor drawknobs and also from a toe stud. The organ's original specifications lists its location as St. Joseph, Michigan, but the church's current address (same location) uses Stevensville, Michigan. The organ is in a room with excellent acoustics. -Database Manager

2020-06-24 - Console was rebuilt in 2019 by Berghaus Organ Company of Bellwood, Illinois. The console was completely refurbished and a new Peterson ICS-4000 system was installed -Roman Lizak
