Built by: Wangerin Organ Company (1932)


In 1932, the Wangerin Organ Company built an organ for an undertaker in Detroit. But because the latter could not afford the instrument, the organ was sold in 1934 to the Muehlig Funeral Chapel in Ann Arbor. It is a unit organ with five ranks, which is completely enclosed. A Harp and Chimes have been added when the organ was installed in Ann Arbor. The organ can play automatically using paper music rolls. It is still completely in its original condition, and there are many music rolls present in the library.
