Ronald Damholt on March 26th, 2025:

All carving of the organ's casework was done by George Weissler of Evanston, Illinois.

Jim Stettner on October 8th, 2022:

Correction: Manual/Pedal compasses are 56/30, not 61/32 as stated below. The drawknobs are non-engraved metal heads on wooden shanks. Engraved nameplates are below the stops which are in two rows above the manual.

Database Manager on November 26th, 2016:

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by Ronald Damholt, based on personal knowledge of the organ.

All five stops of this mechanical action instrument are divided at B/c. Compass is 61 manual, 32 pedal. [ed.: corrected 2025. It is 56/30] The pedal board is concave and radiating and simply couples to the manual.
