This instrument was sold to a institution in Ohio in 1975 (unknown)..the balance being paid down on the current organ. -Database Manager
2015-09-13 - Updated through online information from John Lanier. -- This particular instrument was the first church organ in the Atlanta area to have a full-length 32' Pedal reed; un-mitered, it is located in the central arch above the baptistry and behind the cross, flanked by the Swell and Choir divisions. All of the Pedal ranks are located behind the central arch. -Database Manager
2016-02-22 - Updated through online information from John Lanier. <br>The original factory specifications indicated that a 16' Dulzian was to be added to the Positiv division, as well as a Zimbelstern, raising the total number of ranks to 59. The Zimbelstern was subsequently added, but not the Dulzian register. -Database Manager
2024-04-04 - The B & W photo of the interior of the sanctuary was later published by Schantz as part of their advertising and was taken soon after the instrument was installed in Sept. of 74'. The windows to the left and right of the organ were originally clear windows, with the intention of installing stained glass as soon as the funds were available. Schantz had a company in Cincinnati to paint stained glass into the windows after the photo was made, as well as painting in the central cross over the organ console. The cross was not installed until two weeks before the first service in the new church in Nov. of 74' -John Lanier
