Database Manager on November 01, 2013:

This is a rebuild of an existing organ. 
 Identified by Richard C Greene,  using information from  this web site: http://www.sipeorgan.com/. 
 -- An organ was installed by Möller in 1928, serving the congregation until 1968 the when congregation built a new building. M.P. Möller moved and installed a new organ in the new church, reusing at least some of the pipework [ED. and possibly more]. In the 1990s it was determined that the organ needed renovation. Robert Sipe was hired to make a compete renovation and substantial enhancement of the Möller organ.
