- In 1962-1963, the Holtkamp Organ Company constructed a new concert organ for Warner Concert Hall of Oberlin University. From the previous Skinner organ of 1927, rebuilt by Holtkamp in the years 1950-1952, only five ranks were taken over. The new organ served for a short time, because in 1974 a new organ by Flentrop was inaugurated.
- The Holtkamp company dismantled the organ and installed it in the Hemmle Concert Hall of the School of Music, Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, where it was inaugurated in February 1977. The relocation was made possible thanks to a gift by Tommye A. Moss.
- In 2011-2012, the organ has been overhauled by the Noack Organ Company. The rededication was on September 23, 2012, with a concert by James David Christie, organist of Oberlin Conservatory.
