2020-11-22 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: The Russell & Company organ at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is housed in a freestanding case of red oak in traditional frame and panel style. Façade pipes are of the 8' Principal and 4' Octave stops of polished zinc, and planed and polished 28% tin alloy. Hand-carved pipeshades of bass wood adorn the façade of the case. The attached console is built into the organ case and features manual keyboards of cow bone and ebony, while the pedal keyboard is of maple wood with walnut sharp keys and conforms to measurements of the American Institute of Organbuilders. All key action is mechanical. Suspended action with automatic compensation for variation in temperature and humidity is employed for the key action. Drawknobs are of turned Gaboon ebony. A solid state, capture type, combination action is provided with thirty-two levels of memory. There are eight general pistons and three divisional pistons/toe studs for the combination action. Sforzando and Great to Pedal pistons and toe studs (reversible) are also provided. Windchests are of the slider and pallet type. The stop and coupler action are controlled by electric solenoids with solid state controls. The organ was dedicated and blessed on May 29, 1994. Will Headlee, Professor of Organ and University Organist at Syracuse University, played the first recital later that same day. -Jeff Scofield
