St. John’s Lutheran Church, Park Rapids, MN 2011

The new Berghaus organ at St. John’s was added before a major renovation to the balcony, which included the addition of drywall and insulation to the rear wall, and installation of a tile floor that considerably improved the acoustics of the nave. The organ was voiced fully but gently in order to fulfill the needs of their active music program. The low twelve notes of the Subbass, as well as the Lieblich Gedackt and Koppelflöte in the Swell, were recycled from the previous instrument.
