Database Manager on June 29th, 2019:
A Tuba Mirabilis rank was added to the Solo division in 2017 and was dedicated at the morning worship service on October 8. It was built by Chris Broome of Broome and Company and was installed by Haan Pipe Organ Service. The stop was a gift from Richard and Helen De Vos, the original donors of the organ. The Tuba Mirabilis has its own wind supply and is unenclosed. Because there was not sufficient space to put the stop in the actual Solo division, it is located in the chamber on the west side instead. The new stop can be coupled to the Swell, Great, Choir, or Pedal.

Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The instrument retains the Antiphonal division from the church's previous organ. The organ was given by Richard and Helen De Vos in memory of Helen's parents, George and Wilma Van Wesep, who were long-time members of La Grave.
