DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Nelson Dodge (May 10, 2025): Nelson Dodge / Church Keyboard hybridized this organ in November 2024 with a new three-manual Rodgers Imagine 351 console, incorporating the seven Austin pipe ranks.
Also, Mission San Buenaventura was elevated to the status of a minor basilica by Pope Francis on June 9, 2020 and is now known as Mission Basilica San Buenaventura.

Updated by G. Mark Caldwell, who has heard or played the organ. I corrected the rank count -- the Pedal Bourdon 16' and the Pedal Dulciana 16' are extensions from manual stops. The organ received a factory rebuild in ca. 1985.
