Notes
2024-11-30 - This entry represents a solid state conversion to an existing organ with tonal changes. Identified through notes on the OHS Database instrument listing for the original installation: "In 2020, the organ received a solid state upgrade done by the Bedient Pipe Organ Co. of Lincoln, NE. The console was returned and installed in December in time for Christmas. Some new stops taken from existing ranks were added as well as preparations for future additions."

2024-11-30 - Transplanted note from a related OHS Database entry: Ryan Luckey on December 18th, 2021: Preparations for a Trumpet 8 were made in the console when the solid-state control system was installed in 2020, work completed by Bedient Pipe Organ. Bedient added the Trumpet and unit wind chest in December 2021. It is a rank made by a supply house in the 1930s. Its original installation is unknown. The chest design and construction replicates the original Hinners chests in the organ. -Jim Stettner
