In December 2003,
Levsen Organ Company, Buffalo, Iowa, started the rebuild of the 3-manual Wicks pipe organ at First United Methodist Church in Peoria, Illinois. As the church underwent changes during a remodeling project so did the organ. First United Methodist Church contracted Levsen Organ Company to rebuild and digitize the console and relays, add a 32' Contra Bourdon, an 8' polished copper Trompette en Chamade, and a Zimbelstern, bringing the organ to three manuals, 77 stops and 63 ranks. It is easily the largest and most versatile organ in the Peoria area. The organ contains many varied voices and ensembles. It is an excellent worship instrument and well suited for recitals. The additions made to the organ greatly increased its dynamic and tonal range. Levsen Organ Company was honored to do the rebuild and additions to the organ at First United Methodist Church.
