Notes

2012-02-20 - The cost of the organ was $23,500, and it was dedicated on November 23, 1969, with Donald Hustad at the console. Hudsonville Reformed Church left this location in 2002 and moved to a new facility where they use an Allen organ. Trinity PRC purchased this building and continues to use the Mutchler organ in its worship services. The Great is partially exposed with the remainder of the division under expression in the right chamber. The Swell is under expression in the left chamber. -Database Manager

2018-08-13 - The Great Mixture, Swell Celeste, and Pedal 8' Principal were all later additions by Lauck Pipe Organ Company. -Database Manager

2024-08-25 - This organ is no longer extant. Trinity PRC still meets in this building, but they have a new sanctuary with an all-digital organ. I visited the church on 7/17/24 and saw that while some parts of the organ remain, it is not playable.
