DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The recent photos indicate the general appearance of the room has changed considerably since the organ was installed, with the clouds and stage lighting now deleteriously affecting the organ in appearance, and very likely in sound. The Pedal basses previously behind a curtain, now appear to be behind a wall of plywood, and the visibility of the keydesk is also reduced.
Database Manager on December 20th, 2010:
The Fine Arts Center underwent a significant expansion and renovation, which was completed in 2010. The name Covenant was added to the Fine Art Center's name at that time. The auditorium, where the organ is located, was not expanded, however. The instrument is known as the Bernard D. Zondervan Memorial Organ and was dedicated December 31, 1967.
