DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
The original organ was a Lyon & Healy from 1900 or there abouts.
In 1979, C.A. Bentschneider from Brooklyn, Michigan rebuilt and electrified the organ and added a couple ranks of pipes. The Mechanical Action components from the Lyon & Healy organ were disconnected and removed but the original console left in place for historical value but no longer functions. The pipes were reused as part of the rebuild.
A 3-manual Austin console was used in the rebuild.
