Wonderful! Saw a glimpse of the white plate above the Swell manual that contains the signature of the builder of this console and the reconstruction of this great organ: - G. Donald Harrison. He considered the reconstruction of this organ to be his "magnum opus", in 1948. In 1988, the builder of the organ for the Conference Center, Schoenstein Organs out of SanFransisco, rebuilt and added ranks to this organ in the Tabernacle.

Dr. Christiansen, you are one of my heroes! You're an absolute genius on the Grand Instrument; you're a true pro; and most importantly- you are one of the Lord's chosen musicians. You are a wonderful man. Thank you for all you do for those of us learning to follow your lead on this dynamic instrument.
May the Lord bless you for your goodness.
Sincerely,
A grateful student
