2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1970. -Database Manager

2018-06-25 - "The present organ was constructed by the Schlicker Organ Company of Buffalo, New York in consultation with David Craighead of the Eastman School of Music, and was dedicated in a recital by Eastman aluma Lorna K. Lutz on May 24, 1970. Interestingly, the Von Beckerath firm of Hamburg was going to be contracted initially to construct the new instrument, having pro-posed a totally unenclosed scheme complete with a Rückpositiv division sus-pended from the front of the balcony. This proposal was ultimately rejected, however, due to the financial unfeasibility of transportation costs, and Schlicker was awarded the contract. The organ employs traditional slider-chests with an electro-pneumatic stop action and a mechanical key action. It is situated in a free-standing case in the rear gallery. According to the dedica-tion booklet, "the voicingâ€¦is done in a classical manner. No "nickingâ€ of the pipe languids is employed and the low wind pressure used consistently allows free, unforced tone . . .â€. It is worthy of note that the 2â€² Octave and 2â€² Gemshorn (on the Great and Swell respectively) were exchanged at the suggestion of Dr. Lutz. They have since remained in this configuration. The Pedal 16â€² Principal was donated by Mr. Schlicker himself." (Alex Jones, OHS 2018 Convention Handbook) -Database Manager
