DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Austin Pipe Organ (Opus 2089) was originally designed by Richard Purvis for installation in the Central Methodist Church of Stockton, California. Purchased by Prince of Peace Lutheran; reconfigured for the new space and enlarged by four ranks of pipes and 14 digital stops with new console and facade by Colby.
Database Manager on September 15th, 2007:
Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The organ has a very interesting facade that is hard to describe, the builder's web site has photos (click on the thumbnails for slides) and it is also shown on the church's website. The organ is in regular use for services.
