The organ in Zion Lutheran Church was built in 1937 by Geo. Kilgen & Son of St. Louis. It is believed this organ was a rebuild of a previous 1915 Kilgen organ. At some point, the organ was revised with the addition of a divided four-rank Fourniture mixture and an 8' Krummhorn, all on the Great division. Pipecounts listed below are suggested. |
