DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- Chimes were added to the organ in 1958. A gift from the Young Married Adults Sunday School Class and Mrs. C. Hoekstra made this possible. Later, a gift also enabled the church to add the Aeoline rank to the organ. In 1973, a different console was purchased with more combination pistons and a swell pedal for the Great division. Also, the oboe was exchanged for a different used oboe rank. The 1973 expansion was "for service to the honor and glory of God in memory of Lois I. Fortuin (1927-1973)" [plaque on organ console]. At some point later, the trumpet stop was also added to the organ. Further work was completed on the organ in the 1980's by Lauck Pipe Organ Company and in 2001 by G. M. Buck Pipe Organs.
