Jim Stettner on April 8th, 2021:

This was a refurbishing with solid state upgrade and the addition of 10 ranks of pipes and possibly some digital stops. 1883 Odenbrett & Abler case still used. The parish website indicates that the organ is a Kimball-Welte. No other documentation to support this has yet been found.


Database Manager on November 24th, 2011:

Identified through online information from Richard C Greene. -- From the parish website, "Milwaukee German organ builders Odenbrett and Abler built the organ in 1883, and its original wooden pipe case with visible façade pipes remain. The hand-pumped organ, electrified in 1906, was replaced in 1935 by the Kimball-Welte Organ Company of Chicago and had 11 ranks. In 2004, Orvold-Fruhstuck, Organbuilders restored and renovated the organ, adding contemporary age technology, 10 more ranks of pipes and electronic enhancements. The resulting tone of the organ fits the parish-s rich German history and the sacred liturgy."
