Notes

2014-02-09 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by Rodney J. Weed, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- There is no builder's label on this organ either the original Moller label or anything to indicate who did the rebuild. The changes made on the console could very easily be the work of Chris Feiereisen who did this kind of work out of Manitowoc, WI. The changes made here are very similar to the rebuild done on the organ at Sts. Peter & Paul Church in Green Bay, WI and those changes were done in the 1970's. I did not have the time on February 7, 2014 when I visited the Church to closely examine the ranks in the pipe chamber so I used the original 12 ranks the organ had when Moller installed it. The stop list is quite different but that could simply be the result of the newer switching system and the addition of the Peterson MIDI Resource System. -Database Manager

The break down of ranks as to unification and duplexing used in the organ are my best guess based on what is on the console and what was observed in the pipe chamber. I did not have enough time at the church to thoroughly verify the actual unification and duplexing used in the organ.
