I hope Larry won't mind me expanding on the 
description of this organ, built for the church 
that the Schuelke family attended.

The organ was electrified in 1927 by Wangerin. 
The organ had previously been re-actioned with 
tubular action when the loft was enlarged. 
Wangerin also removed four ranks of pipes from 
the organ because of problems with the ventil 
chests. The also added a unit chest to the swell, 
playing the old Gedeckt, placing a celeste on the 
blank toeboard, and replaced a reed stop with a 
Vox Humana. Even then, there was no Wangerin 
builders plate on the new console, just a 
Schuelke plate.

In the 60's or 70's a number of ranks of period 
pipes were added, to fill in blank spaces on the 
windchests (the problems were repaired, of 
course).These ranks were from contemporaneous 
pipework, some of it by the Marshall Brothers, 
another Milwaukee organ builder.

I'm glad to know of the concert and look forward 
to attending (and the master class, if I can 
manage it). It's a wonderful organ in a wonderful 
room.
