Notes

2024-07-30 - The Tannenberg organ was moved into the congregation's new church building in 1854. Here it remained until 1885 when it was replaced with an organ by Charles Durner. Durner used Tannenberg's case but changed the front pipes to zinc dummies in Tannenberg style. Side extensions were added to the case for the pedal pipes. The Durner organ was discarded in the 1950's but the front of the case remains in the church. -- davidtannenberg.com -Paul R. Marchesano
