Notes

2016-06-13 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by T. Bradford Willis, DDS, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>Information concerning the number of ranks (79) on present Schantz organ in the chancel of St. Luke's Church was provided by Mr. Rob Landes, organist and artist-in-residence. He added that 10 ranks were kept from the Moller organ and they were completely revoiced. Also the outer casework of the old Moller console was kept, but the interior is all solid state Schantz mechanism. -Database Manager
