2025-05-26 - From Church website: The story of St. John’s “new” organ begins in January 1902, when St. Paul’s English Evangelical Lutheran Church in Davenport, Iowa, contracted with M.P. Möller, of Hagerstown, Maryland. The firm agreed to build its Op. 388, a two-manual-and-pedal instrument with tracker (mechanical) action and thirteen ranks of pipes, for $1,500 and to install it that same year. By 1980 the building housed a different congregation and the organ was no longer in use, having suffered water damage from a leak in the roof. After information furnished by the Organ Clearing House on this and other available organs had been considered, St. John’s organist Nathan Privett and organ technician John DeCamp inspected the Davenport instrument and recommended its purchase. It was bought, dismantled, and trucked to Los Angeles, where, retaining its tracker action, Decamp rebuilt and enlarged it in the shop of Rosales Organ-builders, Inc. The organ’s freestanding placement in St. John’s required a platform for the console and sides for the case. Rosales built these according to the design of parishioner John Mitchell, who served as engineer-draftsman for the project. Rosales reconstructed the Pedal windchest as well. In May 1983, parishioner volunteers and friends began the organ’s installation in St. John’s, and one year later it was dedicated. -Paul R. Marchesano
