  • John Brombaugh built a large organ for the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Collegedale, Tennessee in the years 1981-1986. The instrument was built in memory of Anton Heiller. It was dedicated in April 1986 with plays by Harald Vogel, Klaas Bolt, Michael Radulescu, Peter Planyavsky and Leonard Raver.
  • Because a tornado in 1990 largely destroyed the roof of the church, the organ was seriously damaged. It has been restored by Richard Fowkes. In particular, a lot of water had entered the instrument, causing the Posaune 32' to suffer such damage that recovery was no longer possible. The organ was put back into service in June 1992, now with performances by Harald Vogel, Peter Planyavsky, Bill Porter and Bruce Newswick.
