The Pedal chest was originally part of the Möller organ (Opus 5021) from Trinity Lutheran Church in Toledo, Ohio. It was likely installed by Muller Organ Company (information received from Don Haan).

Database Manager on August 21st, 2010:
Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by Estey Organ Company as their Opus 738 in 1910. It was rebuilt by Muller Organ Company using resources built by the Schantz Organ Company. Work included a new console, four additional ranks of pipes, a new blower, new swell engines, new reservoir, and new tremolo. Muller did further work on the organ when a new Swell chest was installed in 1976. Don Haan also completed projects on the organ, including replacing the Vox Humana with a 4' Oboe in 1991, adding a digital stop to the Great in 1998, and replacing the Great windchest in 2001. This last work was done in conjunction with Brian Fowler.
