NOTES
There was originally an 8' Oboe and an 8' Stopped Diapason on the Swell.  Both ranks were in
very poor condition and were replaced by Michael Quimby with an 8' Trumpet and an 8' Rohr
Flute when the organ was rebuilt in 1970.

The pedal specifications previously listed on OHS are incorrect.  The pedalboard is flat and
parallel, NOT concave and radiating. <i>[Ed. - Corrected]</i>

Also, the crescendo pedal was not in working condition and was removed by either the Treu
Organ Company when the organ was installed in 1926, or by Michael Quimby when the organ was
rebuilt in 1970. <i>[Ed. - There never was a Crescendo Pedal. Reference is to the removed
foot trundles for Piano & Forte]</i>

The organ is as least 130 years old and was built sometime during the 1880's.  OHS has the
date of construction listed as 1895, but this is the date when it was rebuilt by the A. B.
Felgemaker Company. <i>[Ed. - Corrected]</i>

There's a possibility that it was originally a four manual instrument, but was later reduced
in size because of the lack of space at one of it's previous locations.

The organ is currently being tuned and maintained by the Quimby Pipe Organ Company of Warrens-
burg, Missouri. The instrument is in excellent condition, and has been in continuous use since
it's installation at Zion Lutheran Church in 1926.
