Jim Stettner on April 18th, 2024:
This entry represents the moving, rebuilding, and installation of a used instrument. The Von Beckerath was originally built for the University of Houston in the organ recital hall of their Fine Arts Center. Identified by St. Lawrence Catholic Church Music Director, John W. Valentine, who writes: "Its going to be totally different from its original state at the University. We are adding 21-ranks, and removing the Positiv and placing it on the gallery rail."
