Notes

2021-01-15 - Great Organ is situated on a cantilievered shelf in an arch above the choir loft. The Swell and Pedal division is behind the choir in a chamber. The Positive division is across the chancel in a chamber. The Plein Jue from the 1954 rebuild of the Möller is retained in the Schantz instrument. The instrument includes a 32' resultant. -Brian Zook
