NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased with an attached, projecting keydesk. The case
is of rift red oak, and is located on the front, right side of the chancel. It cost
only $37,000.00!
The 5-sectional façade containing 25 pipes is arranged: 4-7-3-7-4. The Manual I 4'
Principal has notes C# 2 through c# 26 in the façade. The first 24 pipes of the Manual
I 8' Erzahler are unencased behind the organ along with the first 12 pipes of the Pedal
16' Subbass. The first six pipes of the 24 unenclosed Erzahler pipes are wooden, haskelled
basses. The basses of both the Manual II 8' Quintadena and 8' Krummhorn are permanently
connected to the bass of the Manual I 8' Bourdon.
The end panels of the case are removable for tuning access.
The organ was dedicated by David P. Dahl on October 8, 1995.
A picture and stoplist of the organ was printed in the Diapason, June, 1996, page 20; and
The American Organist, December, 1996, pg. 84.
