How often should the organ be tuned?
When the organ was installed, I was told that tuning should occur every five years.  This has turned out to work well.
​What will it cost to move the organ?
An estimate from a local organ builder to disassemble, move and reinstall the organ is $30,000 (2022).
​How much would a similar organ cost if ordered today?
An estimate from a representative of The Bedient Pipe Organ Company to build a similar instrument is $300,000 (2022) without hand carved pipe shades and without using mahogany for the organ case and external pipes.
​Who made the Zimbelstern?
The five bell Zimberstern was made by Der Zimbelstern, a company in Sussex, Wisconsin.
What type of combination action does the organ have?
The combination action was made by Peterson Electro-Musical Products Inc. of Alsip, Illinois.  It is a Duo-Set type which allows a piston to be set using the Set button plus a numbered piston for stops already in place or with a numbered piston depressed while choosing stops.
