Builder: Michael Nelson, 1993
Grandall & Engen Opus 82
Manuals: 2
Ranks: 27
Action: Electromechanical

Notes: In 2017 the organ was suffering from wear, and when the music rack broke it was the final hurdle for having Grandall & Engen rebuild the organ. The relay system, combination action and stop units were replaced. There was some rescaling and revoicing. The Pedal mixture, which was higher pitched than the Great mixture, was removed and the Great mixture was made available in the pedal. Some stops available only at 4' were also made available at 8'. The swell shades were revised with a new swell engine. Re-wiring of some stops allowed for duplexing. Pedal Principal was rescaled at 8' to better match the scale between the woods 1-12 and metals starting at 13. Great 4' Octave 1-9 (center facade) barely spoke.
