Builder: M.P. Möller Organ Co., Op. 10500, 1969. Manuals: 3 Ranks: 28 Stops: 27 Action: Electro-pneumatic Notes: Unenclosed pipework arranged in functional design. Jeff Scofield (2009) and Organ Historical Society as of 2012. Organ sold and Taylor & Boody installed in the space. Editor's note: Why were there 3 Mollers in the new building in 1971? Gerhard Krapf had fought for financial allocation with the Iowa Legislature. As he put it himself, he put all of his eggs into the Clapp organ and the 2-manual Schlicker tracker studio organ. There was $50k left and he had to buy three organs, one of which, per the legislature, had to have 3 manuals since the Clapp organ had 3 manuals. Moller was the only bidder that could build a 3-manual studio organ and two 2.5 rank practice organs for the money. All three Mollers were universally hated by the students. David Engen, recollections as a teaching assistant, 1971-73.
