2021-02-23 - The organ has a Wicks Eyeline-style console. From the cathedral website: In 2000, the organ console was completely renovated by the Wicks Company, including new keyboards, a new pedalboard, new key and pedal contacts, and new drawknobs. The rest of the organ was restored and enhanced by Madison Lindsey and Troy Scott of Pipe Organ Specialties (Laurel, Mississippi). Mr. Scott, a former Cathedral Music Director, took special pride in restoring the instrument to its place as a showpiece among regional organs; all the existing pipework was cleaned, polished, refinished, and rescaled, and two reservoirs were re¬leathered. The renovation also included new solid-state electronics with additional couplers and a 99-level Peterson combination memory module. Tonally, the organ remains true to its original conception. However, the “heart” of the instrument, the Principal Chorus on the Great division, was completely replaced; as were the mixtures in the Swell and Choir divisions. The organ was also “crowned” with a high-pressure horizontal reed, named the Oberkirch Trompette after the late Reverend Monsignor James Oberkirch, who presided over the renovation. The Walker Organ Company provided new digital stops - a large trumpet in the Great division and six ranks in the Pedal division to balance the new acoustic ranks. A more recent addition is a Zimbelstern, provided by an anonymous donor. -Jeff Scofield
