Notes
2006-05-07 - Identified through on-line information from Scott Crowell. -- The Hazel Wright organ consists of the 1962 Aeolian-Skinner organ (opus 1388) from the Lincoln Center in New York City and the 1977 Fratelli Ruffatti organ built for the church's former sanctuary, the Garden Grove Community Church. The organ has two 5-manual consoles, a main console and a console in the rear (south) gallery. Organ has some digital stops that are not included in the data above. -Database Manager
2011-01-12 - Updated through on-line information from Sam Cherubin. -- A new String, East and West En Chamades were added on by Ruffatti. The West Organ (Epistle) contains 244 pipes of Trompette en Chamades on 12" of Pressure. The East Organ (Gospel & Echo) also contains Trompette en Chamades but a different timbre from the Chamades is the Epistle Organ. The En Chamade in the East organ is on 16" of pressure. The en chamades even have their own blowers (East and West). -Database Manager
