Built by: C.B. Fisk Inc. (2010) - opus 135


Fisk built a new large organ in the years 2008-2009 for the Auer Hall of the Jacobs School of Music, part of the University of Indiana in Bloomington. In June 2009 a start was made with the construction of the organ in the hall. The organ could be built thanks to a gift from Maidee Seward and her son John Seward. The organ has therefore been given the name "Seward Organ". The instrument was put into use on April 30, 2010.
