  • In 1924, the Wurlitzer Orgen Company supplied an organ to the Pig 'N Whistle restaurant, Spring Street in Los Angeles. It is a Style D type organ. Around 1948 it was sold to Howard C. Stocker. He moved with the organ to San Bernardino in 1955. He sold it in 1996 to Willi Wiesinger from Celle, who quickly resold it to Friedhelm Fleiter, organ builder in Münster. The organ was setup in the workhop of Fleiter. The organ has six sets of pipes, from which 43 registers are derived, supplemented with various percussion registers (such as Marimba, Glockenspiel, Piano) and effect registers.
  • Gregor Schwarz bought the instrument in 2015 to be installed as a church organ in the Heilig-Geist-Kirche in Lemgo. An electronic organ was in use in this church. The organ has been placed in the church in a new case, without front pipes. The console is freely placed on the church floor. The instrument was dedicated on May 28, 2023 (Pentecost Sunday). Friedhelm Flamme played the organ during the service. In the afternoon Pjotr Gudel played two demonstration concerts. This was followed by a screening of the silent film "Joseph in the Land of Egypt", accompanied on the organ by Anna Vavilkina.
