This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location

Jim Stettner on February 11th, 2026:

Updated through online information from Ryan Luckey of the Bedient firm [February 11, 2026]: This organ is no longer extant. It was removed in February 2025 following the church's merger with a contemporary mega-church from Omaha. The changes made in the 1970s deemed this instrument unworthy of restoration. Select ranks were retained by the Bedient Pipe Organ Company for potential reuse in future projects.

Ryan Luckey on November 12th, 2024:

This organ was moved to Good Shepherd in the 1970's by an unknown technician. It is installed in a very small alcove behind grill cloth. The former facade pipes are now tubed off to various locations in the chamber. Several other changes were made during the move, most notably was the elimination of the swell box (there was not room for it) and the elimination of the combination pedals. The pitch was raised to A=440 and the wind pressure may have been lowered. The nicking was rubbed out of all Principal ranks and the cut-ups of the Violina basses were raised. The voicing of the flutes and other strings was unchanged.

From Peace UCC (originally Friedens Evangelical), Plymouth, NE.
