Jim Stettner on April 19th, 2026:

Updated through online information from Nils Halker [April 14, 2026]: Opus 10 was originally built for the one-story chapel in Old Main. It stood on the main floor in front of a proscenium stage. It was enlarged and moved to Trinity Chapel in 1996. The additions/changes in 1996 were: (1) Great Trumpet 1-12 was changed to full length. (2) Decorative top on case hides the longer trumpet and the blower, which had been behind the organ on the stage. (3) Subbass was rescaled larger. (4) Pedal 8' Trumpet was added. A zimbelstern actuated by toestud was added at a later date.
