Unknown - Organ facade (Photograph by Brad Cunningham/Database Manager)
2014-04-14 - Identified through online information from Brad Cunningham. -- A mechanically new instrument reusing portions of the original Pilcher organ of 1927 along with modifications from the 1970s. <br>The church commissioned a firm in 2001 to rebuild the instrument, recognizing the need to replace its failing chest actions, relocate the mis-placement of the Swell stops added in the mid seventies, provide a new Principal chorus including a IV rank Mixture and Great reed with the 8' Principal of polished tin, en facade. To further fulfill the liturgical and musical requirements of a modest, well balanced instrument, a full reed chorus of 16', 8' & 4' pitches as well as a 1-1/3 Nineteenth in the Swell division were added. The stoplist also provided for a more developed Pedal division retaining the Bourdon and Leiblich from the extant instrument, configured to provide a 32' pitch. Installation of an 18 tube set of Chimes for which the console was prepared, is now complete. A unique feature incorporated into the instrument is the provision of the drawknob console with the drawknob placement across the nameboard as opposed to set into side jambs. The facade was removed and now resides in a private residence in Carrollton, GA serving as speaker covers for the owner's 3 M electronic theater-style organ -Database Manager
