DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This entry represents the removal, modification, tonal changes, and re-installation of an existing organ for the original congregation in a new worship space a the same location. Identified through online information from Kevin Chunko (April 28, 2021): A new sanctuary is being built adjacent to the former sanctuary. The original balcony holding the organ and choir seating have been demolished, the former sanctuary being repurposed into a fellowship hall. Ultimately, Berghaus organ will be installed in the front of the new sanctuary, fitted tightly into a taller roof peak using its original casework (but stained with a new hue). A few ranks will be added and the organ revoiced on a higher wind pressure.
