Notes

Database Manager on June 18, 2009:

Updated through online information from Chad Boorsma.  -- The Swell division is under expression in the east chamber, the Pedal division is in the west chamber, and the Great division is exposed.        FROM THE DEDICATION PROGRAM:    The instrument was constructed to custom dimensions and specifications for Maplewood Church, which were developed through the combined efforts of Mr. S. George Price, Reuter representative, Mr. Roger J. Rietberg of the Hope College Music Department, and the church organ committee.  It has a clean bright sound of "classic European instruments built during the 17th and 18th centuries.        The Young Adult Sunday School Class purchased the Deagan chimes in memory of Mrs. Doris Worthy, who served on the Planning and Purchasing Committee, but passed away before having the opportunity to play or hear the instrument.
