Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated March 2, 1963 reads, "Philip Baker, music director at Tujunga Community Methodist Church, spent six long months in the construction of a somewhat unusual looking pipe organ, at present housed at the church, 9901 Tujunga Canyon Blvd. What makes the organ unusual is its F40 pipes which he had shipped from Germany. The first such organ the music student has built, the pipes extend upward from the base of the organ and are uncovered, giving it its extraordinary appearance. Baker, Eagle Rock, donated the organ to the church until the arrival of a new pipe organ."
