Updated through online information from Robert Patterson. -- The organ was placed into storage from the New Stine address, since that time, a worship center was built at the Buena Vista address, and the organ is reinstalled, and is is excellent condition. I played it in December 2011

Database Manager on January 18th, 2011:
Identified through on-line information from Patrick Ogilvie. -- Housed in a natural color German oak case, maintaining the traditional configuration of a central T-form. The main case houses the Hauptwerk, with the Schwellwerk above and behind it. Two pedal towers stand at either side, and the Riickpositiv is on the main floor behind the console, in the midst of the choir seating, where it is in an excellent location for continuo work. The stop and combination actions are electric, with four memory levels. The Spanish Trumpet is mounted horizontally on the main case with copper resonators, below the case pipes of the 8' Principal, and the rotating star of the Zimbelstern is at the same level. The Cornet V is mounted in the upper facade of the same case, flanking pipes of the Pommer. Facade pipes of the Riickpositiv are From the 8' Holzgedackt, and the Pedal towers display pipes of the 16' Principal. Paul Tepker, director of worship and fine arts, played the dedication service on November 18, 1990. The inaugural recital was played by Edward Murray on January 27, 1991. The organ was disassembled by Werner Bosch and put into storage. It was reassembled in a new chapel and the rededication service was held November 21, 2010.
