The text follows: "**Fritzsche Builds for Historic Savannah Church** The Paul Fritzsche Organ Company, Allentown, Pa., was awarded the contract lo build a three-manual and pedal organ for the 226-year-old Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Ascension, Savannah, Ga. The specification was designed by Paul Fritzsche in consultation with T. Howard Sheehan, Savannah. The instrument will be housed in the existing chambers with some of the diapasons exposed on the chancel walls. Several ranks from the present instrument will be re-used to blend with the modernized ensemble. Preparations will be made for the addition of a 5-rank antiphonal division." The organ rebuild resuted in fewer ranks and pipes in the instrument, despite the addition of two Mixtures. -Paul R. Marchesano
