Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- According to e-mail from William F. Bust (Wicks Service Manager), this was an all-new organ installed after a sanctuary renovation. It replaced a 3/19 Wicks (Op. 3170). The 8' Salicional and Voix Celeste were retained from Opus 3170. The console has reverse color keys. In 2003, 15 Walker digital voices were added.
