Notes

2023-11-06 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from the Wicks opus list. There are 11 pipe ranks, and 36 digital 'ranks'. -Jim Stettner

2023-11-12 - I have added additional pictures to further document this organ. The picture of the console detail should provide more clarity. The 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons below the green display to the right of the coupler panel are for selecting the Combination Memory Level. The small knob to the right of the display is for setting the Transposer. There is no piston sequencer. The two Toe Studs marked 'illegible' are the following: o MIDI sustain - there is a Rodgers midi sound module connected through the visible cables to provide a simulated "piano". I think this is the sustain pedal for that. o Automatic Pedal. Not sure, but I think this is for pianists who don't know how to play pedal. It causes the lowest note played on a keyboard to also sound on the pedal. The closeup views of the two stop jambs give a better understanding of the stops available. The closeup of the organ case gives a good view of this compact instrument. Even though the majority of the instrument is comprised of Walker digital ranks, it is very practical for this modest size church, yet it can "shake the timbers" whenever we want. Wicks has been building hybrid organs like this for years. -Ken Knollman
