The Zach on May 31st, 2020:
Rebuild of existing Karn organ with a new 3 manual console (eliminating the Solo Division) and more tonal additions. The workmanship was of poor quality and the condition steadily deteriorated. It eventually became too overwhelming to handle and in 1976, the congregation decided to silence the Karn and replace it with a Rodgers 990. The speakers are installed behind the Facade pipes.
