Notes
2010-02-06 - Electrification of existing 1910 Kilgen organ. Mr. Daniels supplied a used Pilcher console at the time. Altered ca. 2005 with addition of solid-state memory system. Chimes appear to have been added at the time the organ was converted to electric action. -Database Manager
2016-02-21 - Updated through online information from James (Bud) Taylor. <br>For years, it was thought that this was a Pilcher organ, there being a Pilcher console in place. We (A. E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Co.) learned differently when we had to remove the organ due to the church ceiling collapsing this past fall. <br><br>As we dismantled the organ, we found on numerous Pedal Bourdon pipes and elsewhere, the stenciled-only logo consisting of a letter "K", within a square diamond outline. This same logo appeared on the inner surface of the Swell front shade-frame as well. (See photos). The organ was originally tracker, but was provided with e/p pull-down actions when the organ was renovated in the early 1960's.<br><br>Repairs and renovations will be made to the organ while it is out, during which time, a new ceiling will be installed, and other renovations will be effected within the church. -Database Manager
