Notes

2010-04-13 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ includes ranks of pipes from the church's previous Austin instrument. In 1981, when the church's new sanctuary was built, Reuter expanded the organ to 32 ranks and added a new console. [Manager's Note: This work was completed in conjunction with Randall Dyer; the organ apparently carries both his Opus 13 and Reuter's Opus .] Reuter's latest rebuild involved adding nine ranks and installing a state of the art console. The previous Reuter console was taken in on trade to update a 1920's Reuter installation at another site. The main reason for this rebuild was the failure of major components of the original Austin installation. -Database Manager
