2005-09-09 - On-line update from Timothy Tikker -- This organ also controlled a 2-manual 1920s Schoenstein chancel organ, which had two small separate consoles of its own. These organs were replaced with a large electronic in recent years. The Hook pipework has mostly gradually disappeared, though last I heard some large wood pipes remained. Blaine Ricketts told me he had many of the pipes. -Database Manager
2019-09-07 - According to Facebook posts by Timothy Tikker on Sept. 7, 2019 - it [the organ] was completely under expression in chambers speaking from the sides of the gallery: Great/Choir and Pedal 16's at left, Swell and Pedal 8' Violoncello at right. it was a far cry from their 19th century work... the reeds were very good, the rest typical 1920s sounds. There was no Diapason tone above 4', and the 4' didn't operate all the time I played there. One unusual feature was an Orchestral Flute that didn't have the usual organ flue pipe mouth construction, rather a hole drilled into the side of the pipe, then a tube coming out of the pipe foot which directed air across the hole, simulating a transverse flute mouthpiece. The only mixture was a very soft Dolce Cornet III. -Database Manager
