DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Information for this entry is from the church website. The Gallery division was actually added in 1983 - four years before the Fort rebuild and enlargement of 1987. The church website states: "In 1983, prior to the expansion of the Chancel Organ, a new Gallery Organ was added in the balcony and replaced the Echo Organ that was located in one of the balcony chambers and had suffered water damage over the years. The Gallery Organ features a beautiful Baroque-style case and contains a one manual and pedal console."
