Notes

2010-07-31 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by Casavant in 1963 (Opus 2744) for First Reformed Church in Muskegon, Michigan. That church closed in 1998, and the organ was sold to this congregation and installed by Joel Gary in 2000. Except for the Great and Pedal divisions now being exposed, the organ appears to be unaltered from its original condition. -Database Manager
