2014-11-28 - Identified through online information from John McCraney. -- When I was a student at the University of South Carolina-Columbia SC in the early to mid-sixties, some of us visited churches to see the organ. This church had a Pels instrument--two-manual and pedal--about 20-22 +/- stops. Pipes were in a chamber high up to the left (seen from the nave) of the chancel, with an opening into the south transept and possibly the chancel. The console faced the lectern/altar area. I remember only two stops--a Trumpet(te) 8 on the swell and a Rauschquinte/Grave Mixture II on the great. The organ seemed a little underscaled for the church, but it had a rather good blend and pleasing sound. The Moller replaced this later. I remember the name Pels because of the company's advertisements in the DIAPASON because of its being a foreign builder, which was somewhat unusual at the time. -Database Manager
