2011-09-12 - Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Friendswood UMC purchased a Moller organ of aproximately 38 ranks in 2002 and contracted with a Texas firm (Church Organs of Houston) to rebuild and install it with two additional ranks of facade pipes; Allen organ supplied the console and digital voices. The Texas firm went bankrupt in July of 2009. The church then contacted the builder/designer who had been contracted by Church Organs of Houston to do the actual work and he agreed to finish the project. Name of the builder/designer is unknown, the church simply refered to him as "a well respected organ designer/builder who is not an employee of Church Organs of Houston." Information compiled from the websites of Friendswood UMC, Allen Organ Comapny and Friendswood Journal (articled dated Aug 22, 2011). No information on the opus number or original location of the Moller organ. -Database Manager
