Built by: Hellmuth Wolff (1980) - opus 23
Destroyed by fire (2006)


  • In 1980, for Saint David's Episcopal Church in Topeka, Kansas, Hellmuth Wolff built a two-manual organ with 25 stops. It was inaugurated with a concert by Robert Danes. The organ was an important instrument, because no mechanical action organs had been built in the region for a long time. The Positiv Organ was equipped with doors that could be closed to reduce the volume.
  • A fire struck the church on November 10, 2006, which caused the organ to be lost.
