Notes: The entire instrument, donated by the Miller Brewing Company, is stored below the stage in a specially constructed chamber.  When the instrument is in use, the floor is taken up and the organ is lifted to stage level by a single piston hydraulic lift.  Due to height considerations under the stage, the 32' Principal was haskelled and is believed to be the only haskelled rank of that pitch in existence. The Austin Organ Company was called upon in 1984 to clean and re-voice the Great and Pedal divisions.  Years worth of dust falling through the stage floor as well as moisture from the adjacent Wisconsin River had taken its toll on the action and pipe work and a major cleaning was necessary.  Under the consultation of the late Calvin Hampton some minor re-voicing was carried out at that time and the 32' Principal was loudened.  The rank now sounds with the room shaking dignity inherent to open pipes of that pitch.
