Notes

2010-06-10 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- Don Haan made some changes and updates to the organ ca. 2007. This included replacing the Great 8' Diapason Conique and adding more general thumb pistons. The pipe chamber is located in the church's tower and speaks from the back of the chapel's balcony. -Database Manager
