Notes

2010-08-13 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by Schantz Organ Company in 1938 for First Reformed Church in Spring Lake, Michigan. It was moved to a church in Holland, Michigan, in 1978 by Mutchler Organ Company, who also made tonal changes to the organ. It was purchased by Our Redeemer Lutheran in 1992. The keyboards, thumb pistons, pedalboard, coupler toe studs, and all interior and exterior woodwork are original from Schantz. Much of the pipework is also from Schantz. -Database Manager
