Notes

2010-06-26 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The instrument was made possible by a gift from Mr. Gerritt Hospers and was dedicated on October 6, 2000. It was designed by Dr. Huw Lewis and Andrew Pennells. David Wilson did the voicing of the pipes, and David Graber designed the organ case. There are two interchangeable pedal boards, a standard Anglo-American pedal board, and one designed to BDO specifications. The organ has 96 levels of memory. -Database Manager
