DETAILS
Exhibited in the 1993 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: ExtantandPlayable in this location
The Koehnken & Grimm, which was originally installed in the rear of the church, was initially hand pumped and later equipped with a water motor. Since the 1940's it has had an electric blower. At some point, the swell shutters were relocated to the back of the swell box, and a solid plywood wall now fills the old opening, making the organ much softer than its builders intended. -- from 1993 OHS Handbook
Database Manager on September 5th, 2006:
Updated through online information from Donald Stewart. -- The organ is used on a weekly basis and is the only organ used by the church.
