Zimmer & Sons; Spearman Hawkinson Co. was selected for a renovation beginning in 2003 that included conversion to solid-state switching, the addition of five Walker digital stops, revoicing, replacing of keyboards and pedaloard, addition of more couplers, increasing of combination memory levels, MIDI stops and a new pipe Festival Trumpet, which was mounted horizontally to each side of the chancel window.

This entry represents tonal additions, both pipe and digital, to an existing organ, and also a new solid state switching system and combination action. The console may also be new.
