This organ was originally installed at First Presbyterian in Warren, Ohio. A new Austin console was installed in 1964.
The console and some of the original pipework was moved to St. Paul Lutheran in Warren, Ohio in 1985 by Joe Humpe of Richmond, OH. This installation also included new chests.
I have been unable to source the original stop list of the 1921 instrument but Austin shows it as having 3 manuals and 44 stops, so it doesn't appear as though all of the pipework made it to this version of the instrument.
The Great principal chorus (8', 4', 2') appear to be OSI (Organ Supply) pipes. The III MIxture borrows the 2' Principal and the remaining two ranks are an odd assortment of principal, flute, and string pipes. Some of the pipework is clearly from the original 1921 Austin (the wooden flutes and the Oboe, for instance) while some of it is assumed to be based upon some visual and construction cues although no one knows for sure. Likewise, we have no trail on the original pipework that didn't make it into this instrument.
Updated through online information from Steve Bournias. -- Moved to this location mid 1980s; handful of 1921 and 1972 pipes reused; new chests; reused 1964 3m austin console; work by Humpe from Steubenville, Ohio;
