Notes
2010-06-18 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ is known as the Stanley Memorial Organ. The organ was originally built by M.P. Möller in 1929 as their Opus 5634. It was expanded to 50 ranks during this rebuild, which also included a new console. Henry Beard was the Möller representative on the project. George Shirley, church organist, and Troy Carpenter served as consultants. John Wheeler played the opening vesper recital on November 6, 1966. Don Haan added one digital pedal stop ca. 1999. -Database Manager
2015-05-10 - Updated through online information from Ron Vanderwest. -- The 16' Gemshorn on the Choir is a 16' Viola. -Database Manager
