2018-07-06 - The John Brown Cook Memorial Wurlitzer at Founder's Church, the gift of Marian Miner Cook in honor of her late husband, is comprised of mainly Wurlitzer pipes, with other stops by Murray Harris, Hall, and Wicks. Tonal design and layout were by Lyn Larsen and Ken Crome. Crome Organ Company restored and installed the instrument. The donation included a three-manual console, but when a four-manual console originally from the Norshore Theatre in Chicago became available, the three-manual was given to the Valley of the Sun Religious Science Center in Phoenix, Arizona, where Lyn Larsen was Musical Director and Organist. The organ was dedicated on July 15, 1984, in a program featuring Founder's Cathedral Choir and George Goulding, the church's previous Organist and Music Coordinator. Lyn Larsen was heard in a concert sponsored by the Los Angeles Theatre Organ Society later that month. -Database Manager
