Notes

2005-07-22 - On-line update from James R. Stettner -- Organ augmented by Bond Pipe Organs of Portland, OR. in 199?. New flamed copper 8' Principal added to Great en facade. -Database Manager

2009-08-31 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was two tonal changes, and five tonal additions to the existing 1965 Detlef Kleuker. The console's original Frei Kombination system was replaced with a new, standard combination action. The stoprail was entrely new. The original Great 8' Oboe-Schalmei was replaced with a new 8' Trompete. The new, flamed copper 8' Principal was added to the Great to provide an actual facade. It has 35 pipes arranged in three sections as: 11-13-11. On the Positiv, the 8' Gemshorn and Gemshorn Celeste are new, as is the 1-3/5' Tierce. The 2-2/3' Quinte is made from the original 1-1/3' Nasat rescaled. And the Pedal 16' Fagott is new. The Positiv windchest has one more prepared-for toeboard. This will likely be a reed register, and will require the Positiv Tremulant to be relocated to a finger piston and/or toe stud since a blank stopkey was not provided. -Database Manager
