2014-08-06 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Scot Huntington, using information found in sample stoplist. -- Located in Orchestra Hall of the Fine Arts Center. Functionally exposed pipework within a simple reflecting casework: Swell upper center, pedal upperwork in front; Great chromatic chest left, Positive chromatic chest right, pedal basses divided left and right behind. Single-bolster Choir-Master console. <br>he organ had electro-pneumatic action with expansion chambers drilled within the toeboards; had a reflective wooden enclosure, and the company's trademark "choir-master" console with the rocking stop tablets in a single row above the Swell manual. The Swell was enclosed in the center, the Pedal Principal chest was cantilevered in front, the unenclosed Great and Positive divisions were on chromatic chests on either side, and the pedal was divided on C/C-sharp chests behind them. The pipework is voiced with open-toes on low pressure, and the console is moveable. -Database Manager
2014-08-07 - Updated by Scot Huntington, using information found in Promotional company literature sent with an instrument proposal from Schlicker in my files.. -- A "multum in parvo" design for a studio teaching organ, this is the smallest three-manual organ Schlicker ever built. It is Schlicker's re-interpretation of similar revival-era teaching instruments built by Holtkamp and Aeolian-Skinner. The Great and Positive divisions utilize the same disposition Schlicker used in his two-manual, mechanical-action teaching studio/chapel organs. -Database Manager

The nomenclature, and company's usual policy to call unit and borrowed stops by the same name, suggests the latter. [Received from Scot Huntington 2014-08-07.]
