2006-04-26 - Updated through on-line information from William Barger. -- This organ was rebuilt by Norville Hall in the 1950s. When this work was done, the organ was taken out of its case and enclosed in two chambers, one on each side of the church. About 5 years ago, the church bought a Rodgers electronic organ console which also plays the pipes. Prior to that, we serviced the organ for many years. The last time I saw the instrument about five years ago, the great reservoir valve assembly had fallen apart ,which resulted in the great pipes playing on full blower wind. As far as I know, the organist there now never uses the pipe sections and they are not being maintained. Second only to Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, this is the best acoustical setting of any church in Chattanooga. -Database Manager
