Notes

2010-11-23 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma -- The Swell is under expression in the left chamber, the Pedal is exposed in the middle and along the back, and the Great is exposed on the right side. The organ had complete releathering of its chests a number of years ago. The instrument was shipped from the factory on November 8, 1968, and was installed by Heider and Anderson. -Database Manager

2019-02-07 - The organ was replaced in 2018 with an Allen organ. The Schlicker was donated to St. John Paul II Catholic Church in Cedar Springs, Michigan. That parish is currently building a new church. -Database Manager
