M. P. Möller opus 8168, 1951; Fabry, Inc. 2006

These sound clips are a generous gift from Mr. John Gouwens, who performed and recorded them. Mr. Gouwens serves as Organist and Carilloneur of the Culver Academies. The sound clips were recorded using a Schoeps MK 21 microphone feeding a Zoom H4 digital recorder, recording directly to 160 bit mp3 format.

For more information on this organ, see http://faculty.culver.org/~gouwenj/organcarillon.asp
