Database Manager on September 3rd, 2017:
Updated by Steve Berg, who has heard or played the organ.<br> I was music director at First Lutheran 2001 through 2005. According to the current organist, this instrument failed badly a few years ago. It was dismantled and sent to a landfill. Replaced by an Allen. (I updated the information about the instrument as it was before it was removed.)
