Schantz Organ Company (represented at the time by Mr. James Madden and Mr. John Muller of Pipe Organ Services of Columbus) were contracted to build a new 2 manual, draw knob console. At this time, a 4 rank mixture was added to the Great division of the organ and a 16'-8' unit Trumpet to the Pedal division. -Database Manager
