Notes

2010-08-19 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by Kilgen Organ Company in 1954 for Second Congregational Church, also in Grand Rapids. First Netherlands Reformed removed the organ from Second Church in 1999 (since Second purchased a new Reuter organ) and had Lauck rebuild it. Work included: new expression shades, revoiced pipework, new blowers, new windchests, additional ranks, and a rebuilt console. -Database Manager
