DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Nicholas Koch [on a related Database entry]: Pipework from a previous 1920's Schantz was incorporated in the organ. The 16'-8' Bourdon, 8' Diapason, 4' Melodia, and 4' Harmonic Flute (tapered) were restored and reused in our opus 4. The metal pipework was made by Gottfried.
Jim Stettner on July 24th, 2024:
Updated through online information from Nicholas Koch (July 23, 2024): Only two ranks from the previous organ were retained; the 8' Trompette (A.R. Schopps), and the 2-2/3' Nasard which was unaltered 1900s Moller.
Jim Stettner on May 20th, 2024:
This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Unknown if any of the preceding Peebles-Herzog instrument will be included. Identified from online information from Nicholas Koch.
Some of the Hook & Hastings casework from St. Lawrence RC in Cincinnati was utilized in this instrument.
