Notes

2018-07-16 - This electropneumatic-action instrument is located on the central axis of the building, housed in a sound-reflective recessed alcove which is placed on a shelf ten feet above the chancel floor. The nave floor slopes toward the chancel, placing the organ slightly above eye-level when one enters the building. The façade is comprised of the Great and Pedal principals, the Pedal Flute 4-, and the solid brass flared Trompette-en-Chamade, and the skirt is Honduran mahogany. The movable console is Honduran mahogany with Nigerian rosewood stop jams and keydesk. The manual naturals are overlaid with cow bone, and the accidentals are rosewood. The room has from two to three seconds reverberation time, and the organ sound is constant through the building. Metal pipes were made by F.J. Rogers Ltd. of Leeds, England, and the wooden pipes were built by Nigel Church of Newcastle, England. The organ was completed and dedicated in 1989.<br> <br>In 2017, all reed pipes except the Trompette en Chamade were replaced with new pipes from A.R. Schopp's Sons, Inc. Two prepared-for stops (GT 8' Trumpet and SW 8' Hautbois) and the CH 8' English Horn were added at this time. The renovation was done by Dr. Jason Alden of Alden Organ Service. -Database Manager
