Notes

2013-12-20 - This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by Rodney J. Weed, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This listing represents tonal additions to Wicks Opus 3799 installed in February, 1959 for the newly completed upper church of St. Fredericks. The tonal additions were done around 1962 by Robert Dornoff of United Organ Company in Milwaukee, who was the Wicks representative in the Milwaukee area at that time. Correspondence from Wicks indicates that while Mr. Dornoff did the work he did not use Wicks components. The additions consisted of an independent 16' Subbass pedal rank, an 8' Trumpet on the Swell and a III Mixture on the Great -Database Manager
