Holtkamp Organ Co.
Opus 1656, 1951

Updated through information received via e-mail from a supporter who wishes to remain anonymous. -- The original organ had electric action with slider chests, drawknobs above the upper manual and no tremulant or combination action. Tracker touch was included, over Mr. Willing's objections.
The organ was sold to University Presbyterian Church, San Antonio, in 1955 or 1956, when Mr. Willing moved to Boston where he shortly afterward became chairman of the organ department at New England Conservatory.

Identified through information published in John Ferguson's Walter Holtkamp: American Organ Builder (DMA treatise, Eastman School of Music, 1976). Although neither Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling nor their successor Holtkamp Organ Co. assigned Opus numbers to their instruments, this organ was identified in factory documents as Job number 1656. That number appears here as the Opus number of this instrument.
