Our organ is a 46 rank Aeolian Skinner pipe organ-the
last
built by that company. It was first installed in our downtown
building in 1972 and moved to our present site in 1999. We are
pleased to make the instrument available for lessons through UND.

Recent work on the organ. Several bellows were added to increase the wind pressure in the instrument and stabilize the sound. Some of the electro-magnetic offset chests were also re-leathered. Funding for the work included a grant from the Howell Pipe Organ Fund (through the Fargo-Moorhead Foundation) and memorials honoring Robert Smith, a life-long church member. This organ is the last instrument built by the Aeolian-Skinner organ builders, the premier company in the United States in the twentieth century. |
