Notes

2012-07-24 - The organ was originally built by Kilgen in 1951. It was expanded in 1962 by William Mollema and George Price, who also installed a Reisner console in 1968. The work at this time by Lauck was to releather the chests, install a new combination action and relay system, and to make tonal changes. -Database Manager
