DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Removed in 2005, replaced by Schoenstein Opus 156 (Gallery) and Opus 157 (Chancel). NOTE: Although it had only one opus number, R-169 was two complete instruments, a three-manual chancel organ, and a complete gallery organ with its own two-manual console (rocker tab). In 2001, the Gallery organ was sold through the Organ Clearing House and moved to All Saints Church in River Ridge, Louisiana. In 2005, the Chancel organ was sold, also through the Organ Clearing House, and moved to First Baptist Church in Manhattan; the 32' Quintaton went to Northbrook Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Michigan.
