Notes

2023-12-23 - This instrument was relocated ca. 1973 by employees of Archie White to St. Paul Lutheran in Manistee, M.I and serves as the core of a slightly larger instrument of dubious distinction. It is installed completely exposed and sans expression in the rear gallery of the church. The original console and relay were supplanted by the console and relay from Kilgen Opus 7747, and the 73-note 4' Octave from Kilgen Opus 7747 was added to augment the instrument to four ranks. At some point the original blower was replaced. It appears otherwise unaltered and no apparent changes to Opus 4434 were made as part of the relocation. -Shawn P. Keith
