The church is an Akron plan sanctuary, with a balcony extending around two
walls. The organ is installed in an alcove in the corner opposite the balcony.
With the exception of the Great Open Diapason and the two pedal ranks, the
organ is enclosed in a general swell. The pedale action was tubular orig-
inally, but has been altered to electropneumatic in recent years by Robert
Dommer. The Melodia, Flute d'Amour, Stop'd Diapason and all three Bourdons
are presumably of wood, while the rest is metal. The Aeoline takes its
bottom octave from the Salicional and is currently tuned sharp to function
as a celeste. This organ is an almost-exact sister to the one that visited
on the 1984 OHS National Convention in Chicago and [which] was recently
relocated to Luther Memorial Church in Madison, Wisconsin. The only differ-
ences appear to be that the pedal key action in the Madison organ is tracker,
and the divided Bourdon is on the Great instead of the Swell.
