Notes
2004-10-30 - The original builder was Johnson Organ Co. (1886, Opus664). -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1995 -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - All-electric magnets later fitted, builder not named. Johnson Swell slider chests rebuilt in place by Carl Emerson in 1995. [Johnson was 2m.] -Database Manager
2010-10-24 - Updated through online information from david dunkle. -- In the late 70s, or early '80s, an interested friend of the church got hold of a 32-note wooden 16' Skinner Bombarde. Bought it, transported it in a truck and installed in the Holtkamp organ. Sits on a separate chest on back wall. The organ never had a 16' reed before that. -Database Manager
2010-10-26 - Updated through online information from david dunkle. -- The fabulous thing about the addition of the wooden 16' reed is that the acoustic is in excess of 5 seconds! My choir on the East side of Cleveland made a recording of a cappella music of Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony, rec. by the rec. engineers of the Cleve. Orchestra there in 1979. One of the most fabulous buildings in North America, visually and acoustically. -Database Manager
