From the church website "Our History - About Our Organ": "The Skinner pipe organ was purchased in 1976 from Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lincoln , Nebraska , where it had been installed in 1926. A group from FBC traveled to Lincoln , dismantled the organ, carefully marked and packed all of the pieces, and loaded it into a semi-trailer provided and driven by a member. When it arrived in Waukesha , the organ was met and unloaded by over 70 members and friends of FBC. A smaller group of members and friends worked for almost two years to reassemble and install the organ. The organ now has 2716 pipes."
On-line update from Thomas Gregory: "The antiphonal hooded trumpet was added about 10 years ago. Schopp (sp) built the pipes & chests. The voicing/scaling is more like a hooded tuba than a trumpet. The Skinner is beginning to need major repairs. Since I left there have been very few repairs/tunings of the Skinner. A praise band is often used/w/words flashed on a screen."
