<br>Identified by James R. Stettner, who has heard or played the organ. -Database Manager
2021-07-28 - The original home of this organ is not presently known. The Felgemaker was originally 9-ranks. A Great 2' Fifteenth was added on a jump slide by Frans W.M. Bosman for this installation. The case front was altered and extended to fit the space requirements at Calvary Lutheran. The facade pipes were also stenciled for the installation. The congregation later disbanded and the organ was moved by Bosman to St. John's Episcopal in Lodi, California. -Jim Stettner

NOTES
This organ was originally built for ______________________________ Church in

The organ was stored for a time in the Portland, Oregon shop of Rene Marceau where
Frans Bosman did the instrument rebuild.
The organ is installed in the rear gallery of the church. The free-standing case has
an attached, projecting keydesk with a lid that lifts to form a music rack. The case
front was altered and extended to fit the space requirements of its new home. The
facade pipes were also re-stenciled. The 3-sectional façade has 25 pipes arranged:
10 – 5 – 10. The Great 8' Open Diapason has its first __ pipes in the façade.
The Great 2' Fifteenth was added on a jump slide on the front of the Great chest.
Calvary Lutheran later disbanded and the organ was moved by Frans Bosman to St. John's
Episcopal Church in Lodi, California without tonal or structural changes.
