DETAILS
Exhibited in the 1961, 2000 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The church building underwent a major (and quite bizarre) renovation which finished around 2025. The organ was covered during renovations but the covering was taken down too soon. There is plastic trapped above the swell keyboard which is rendering the swell totally unplayable. Most of the great, choir, and pedal can be played although badly out of tune. The console power switch does not work. The instrument needs to be activated from the basement where there is a wall switch near the blower. The entire room including the choir loft is now covered in thick, bright blue carpet.
