NOTES
The organ was originally built for St. Philip's Catholic Church in Minneapolis, MN.
where it was installed in a recess along the right wall towards the front of the room.
The Great was cantilevered with the swell enclosure immediately behind. The console
was also on the right directly below the organ. The church was closed in 2011 and the
organ was listed for sale for $16,000.00 “as is” on the “Homeless Pipe Organs” website
operated by Associated Organbuilders of St. Paul, MN.
It was sold to Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Lago Vista, TX. and installed there
by Associated Organbuilders in 2012 with a real II Mixture added to the Great, a 12-pipe
16' extension to the Swell 8' Trompette, and new casework.
