Builder: Möller Organ Co, Opus 10258, 1967
Manuals: 4
Ranks: 65
Action: Electro-pneumatic

Notes: Jeff Scofield and Organ Historical Society as of 2013. From James Stettner: This is the third pipe organ in King Chapel, having replaced the previous 1931 Kimball. The organ cost approx. $115,000. The consultant was Robert Baker. The organ arrived in three truck loads in mid-August 1967, and was ready to use by the end of September. The inaugural recital was given by college organist Robert Triplett on Tuesday, November 14, 1967.
Editor's recollection: In 1972 this was an incredibly ugly sounding organ. The Solo Bombarde was likened to a Rock Island railway horn and was extremely loud. The white shades are closed in these pictures, but when in use they flip between the white paint and the black interior seen when open. The first swell shade to open is the tiny one on the upper level far to the right. The second is the far left one on the lower level. When opened quickly it's a dramatic display! The small solo box is on the far left.
