Notes
2014-11-12 - This entry describes an original installation of a relocated pipe organ. Identified by Andrew A. Clark, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- According to the pastor and a former organist of this church, the instrument is from an unknown church or building that was located in Muskegon Michigan. (ed. First Lutheran] The organ was installed at this location in the 1970s but appears to have been never completed. Some pipework, chests, etc. are missing in whole or in part. -Database Manager

2014-11-29 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. According to Shawn P. Keith on December 23, 2023:
This instrument was relocated ca. 1973 by employees of Archie White to St. Paul Lutheran Church in Manistee, Michigan and serves as the core of a slightly larger instrument of dubious distinction. It is installed completely exposed and sans expression in the rear gallery of the church. The original console and relay were supplanted by the console and relay from Kilgen Opus 7747, and the 73-note 4' Octave from Kilgen Opus 7747 was added to augment the instrument to four ranks. At some point the original blower was replaced. It appears otherwise unaltered and no apparent changes to Opus 4434 were made as part of the relocation. -Database Manager
