2014-06-20 - This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by Timothy E. Conyers, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Renovation and tonal additions to the II manual Gabriel Kney tracker organ (1972), bringing the total number of ranks to 20. Additions included a new 8' Principal in the Great division, an 8' Trumpet, and a new Rohrflote playing in the Pedal at 8' and 4'. New stop controls were added, along with an updated solid state combination action. (Source: Reynolds Associates, Inc. website). <br>Console is in a fixed position on left side of chancel. Due to building not being very tall, the organ chamber and pipe facade are at floor level on the right side of the chancel. The keyboard makes use of black keys for natural notes and white keys for the accidentals. Stop controls are of the rocker tab style and located above the top manual. There are two thumb pistons under the lower keyboard and at least four toe studs. Pedal board is radiating. There is no covering for the console. -Database Manager
