David Engen on March 2nd, 2021:

I did my senior graduation paper on this organ. The antiphonal was never installed, and the organ has never been 80 ranks.


David Engen on June 10th, 2020:

Rank and stop count is incorrect. There was some unification and duplexing. It was actually 75 ranks, 61 stops. As a senior, I did a graduate honors thesis that included analysis of the mixtures in the organ as well as a rank and stop count, which I still believe to be accurate. Presence of the prepared antiphonal in all listings adds to confusion of its size. Also, the Swell Mixture is IV-VI, not IV-IV.
Great: 19 ranks
Swell: 19 ranks
Positiv: 21 ranks
Pedal: 16 ranks
16' Gemshorn is duplexed to 8' on the Great. No other manual stops are duplexed this way.
Pedal unification is 8' Gedeckt to 4'; 32' Contra-Fagott to 16'; 8' Trumpet to 4' and 2'. Stops duplexed to the pedal are the Great Gemshorn at 16' and 8' and the Positiv Ranket to 16'


Database Manager on August 21st, 2019:

Updated by David Engen, who has heard or played the organ.
The Antiphonal was never installed, so the organ was actually 64 ranks in the gallery.
Prior to the Holtkamp rebuild, I knew this organ well. I did an organ degree at St. Olaf, did two recitals on it and a research paper. Was told by Arnold Flaten (art dept) that the chapel when built had 7 seconds of reverberations, which is what Herman and David Johnson designed the organ for. Acoustic changes before the organ was installed reduced reverberation to less than 2 seconds. Chests were NOT slider chests, but EP Pitman.
