Notes

2011-09-25 - The organ includes five ranks of pipes from the church's 1907 Estey organ, as well as four ranks from additions made to the Estey organ from 1926-1980. Of the remaining current ranks, two were donated by Emanuel's Senior Choir, one from the Max Gietzel family, and 28 from Richard Swanson. The console, which had been added to the Estey organ in the early 1970's, was completely rebuilt by Richard Swanson in 2004. -Database Manager
