DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Due to the need for significant repairs -- especially with the console -- the organ was replaced with a new Allen organ in 2015. At this time, the pipes are mostly still in the chamber.
Database Manager on April 26th, 2011:
Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma -- The organ was originally installed in the congregation's previous building at 612 S. Park Street, also in Kalamazoo. The church relocated to its present location in 1988. It appears that some remodeling of the organ, including some additional ranks, was completed when the organ was installed in the current sanctuary. The Choir and Great divisions are under expression together, while the Swell is under separate expression.
