Notes

2014-10-09 - Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Jerry Orvold, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- I took the organ in trade when I installed the new Wicks in the church. I subsequently installed it in my home in Bloomington, along with another identical Wurlitzer chest, plus an 8rk. Wicks organ, playable from a 3 man. console. We moved last year to our lake home in WI, and the organ is in storage awaiting installation here. -Database Manager

2014-10-11 - Updated through online information from Jerry Orvold. -- This organ is now in storage at my home in Wisconsin, awaiting installation. -Database Manager

2018-12-01 - Updated by Gerald Orvold, the builder. <br> <br>Two years ago, after an unsuccessful attempt to sell the organ, I decided to install it in basement chambers under our music room. At present the organ is installed in two chambers, with the 8 low pressure ranks in one, and the 10 high pressure ranks in another. Tone access is via shutters in the ceiling speaking through tone openings on opposite sides of the room. There is also an Allen sound module used for additional effects. Since moving full time to Wisconsin (2013), I have served as organist for our small church. -Database Manager
