Bâti par: Beiber Pipe Organ Company (1967)
Demolished? (1979)


  • In 1966-1967 the Beiber Company rebuilt and enlarged the organ of the (First) Christian Church in Whittier, California. The new instrument had four manuals and 61 stops. It was built using material from the previous organ of the church. Consultants were Eugene Riddle and Robert Prichard. The latter played the opening recital on February 27th, 1967.
  • It seems that the organ did not meet the demands of the concregation, because only twelve years later, in 1979, a new organ was installed by Rosales.
