2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 2000. -Database Manager

2025-04-25 - Updated through online information from Jeffrey White (April 25, 2025): Church closed in 2021, and the instrument has been removed. I have purchased the organ, but only took the chests, pipes, blower, and winding. The console has been returned to the Wicks Organ LLC factory for future sale. The intention is to interface the pipes with Hauptwerk using a custom MIDI console. I live in St. Louis MO. The ranks and stop list remain unchanged. -Jim Stettner
