Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- This instrument had a more classic design and included a new Positiv division, being displayed in open cases installed on either side of the chancel arch. The cases were built by Möller to match the 1929 American Seating Company cases built for the 1929 Skinner organ.
Database Manager on September 5th, 2006:
According to the builder's web site, the organ was damaged but not destroyed in the 1988 fire. Skinner and Moller pipework retained in the Muller Organ.
