Notes

2013-11-23 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Rodney J. Weed, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The Trompette En Chamade was added to the organ in 2012 by the Berghaus Organ Company. The console is done in the old style with draw stops terraced on each side of the organ and couplers across the top of the top manual. The drawknobs look like very old tracker organs drawknobs; it is a very attractive console. -Database Manager

2013-11-26 - Updated through online information from Rodney J. Weed. -- The console is very beautifully done and has a great traditional look. It is amazing how different this Schlicker sounds compared to the 1981/1989 Schlicker in Grace Lutheran Church only one block away. -Database Manager
