Holy Cross Lutheran Church Opus 1, 1974 Built on speculation by Lynn Dobson and sold to Refurbished and installed in 2011
Originally built by Lynn Dobson in a shed on the family farm previously used as a chicken coop, Op. 1 was sold to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in 1974, before Lynn established his business. The organ incorporated many recycled parts, such as the bellows, the keyboards and some of the pipes. In 1976, some of the old pipes were replaced with new ones, and the organ revoiced to better suit the acoustics of the church. When Our Savior’s Lutheran Church disbanded in 2009, it gave the organ to Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Dakota Dunes, across the river from Sioux City. We removed the organ to Lake City, where it was generally refurbished. Some improvements have been made to the casework and stop action, and the Great Principal 8', which formerly borrow the lowest 12 notes from the Bourdon, now has an independent bass.
