[Originally received on line from Richard C. Greene March 03, 2009. Additional Antiphonal information received from Jeffrey White, 2025-01-28.] No pipe counts available for main divisions. Builder only indicate one Antiphonal stop playing in the Pedal. Update by Jeffrey White (April 25, 2025): the Antiphonal reed and flute both play in the Pedal at 16’. The console is being installed the week for April 23 and I have confirmed (as part of the install team) that this is the case.

Paul R. Marchesano on April 8th, 2025:
10 rank Antiphonal added to Wicks Opus 4400, Jan, 2025 by Wicks Organ LLC. From the Wicks company website: "Originally built for the Wicks studio, Opus 4400, a 3 manual 59 rank instrument built in 1964, was sold, reconfigured and installed at Bethel Lutheran Church, Rochester, MN in 2009. Recently, Bethel Lutheran has contracted with us to build a New 10 rank Antiphonal organ, and brand new 5 manual draw-knob console for this instrument."
