This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location

Jim Stettner on March 1st, 2026:

Updated through online information from R.D. Wolff [February 27, 2026]: The organ is played for service and when I played it to-day it worked fine, though the wood keys are a bit "rough" from wear, and the pedalboard needs contact adjustment.

RD Wolff on February 27th, 2026:

This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Originally built for First Presbyterian Church across the street. Given as a gift by First Presbyterian when they 'nested' with St. Paul's ca. 2001.

[Editor - JS: this included the moving and re-installation of the 1918 Estey facade behind which the Holtkamp was installed].
