Database Manager on December 09, 2018:

This project was a renovation and expansion of Reuter's Opus 1767, originally installed in the sanctuary in 1971. The majority of the Great division is new with the former Great Principal and Erzahler finding new homes in the Swell division. An Oboe and Mixture were also added to the Swell. The new bass pipes of the 16' Pedal Principal, as well as the Great Principal and Harmonic Flute pipes, form the new pipe facade, replacing the original cloth coverings. (Information from an Reuter Organ Company flyer and the church's Director of Music, Gordon Bruns.)
