Database Manager on August 13th, 2012:

Updated through online information from Eric J. Gastier. -- The Aeolian organ was originally installed in the residence of Dr. L. E. Sisler in Akron, Ohio. That organ included Great, Swell, Echo, and Pedal including 24 stops, 28 ranks, and app. 1,615 pipes. Roughly half of the pipework and all four manual chests were retained in the 1950 Schantz rebuild. -- Aeolian pedal compass was 30 notes


Database Manager on April 7th, 2010:

Identified through on-line information from Tom Scheck. -- This organ, previously in a residence, was installed in this location by Schantz with a new console. I was informed by the late Richard DeLong, organist of the church in the early 1970's, that when the architect presented his plans for the new church, the church authorities asked the architect where the organ was to be located. The architect informed the church that they were to have an electronic instrument. The church accepted the plans, but insisted on a pipe organ. An Aeolian residence organ was acquired and installed by Schantz with a new console. The Great, Swell and Pedal were installed in the ceiling above the rear gallery, the ceiling having been lowered to accommodate the organ. A Choir division was installed in the front of the church, where the choir and organ console were located. I am unsure whether the organ was all Aeolian or if Schantz added any new pipes. If new pipes were added, they were most likely minimal.
