Updated through online information from Scott Crowell. -- Organ has 3 prepared stops. An interesting feature is that this organ can be supplied with wind by operating the three wedge bellows with the feet. Also, the organ uses the Kellner temperament tuning system. A wind stabilizer is available for pieces with thick texture. The organ was designed to represent those of North Germany and the Netherlands during the Baroque period. It was dedicated in May 1996 and is known as the Loening-Hancock organ.
