Notes

2022-01-03 - From the March 1971 issue of THE DIAPASON: Weiss & Turney Organ Builders, Inc., has contracted with St. James United Methodist Church, Lynbrook, N.Y. for a large three-manual and Antiphonal organ to replace a 1925 instrument. The three-manual drawknob console will have a capture type combination action, and will be of low design to enable ease of conducting from the console. The building is of brick construction with a high, wood· beamed peak roof, and it will seat about 400 pearle. The Great and Pedal divisions wil be exposed on the choir 1oft wall directly over the Choir, and the Swell and Choir divisions will be on the sides of the choir loft. The stoplist was drawn up by Mr. George Sdlocnberg. organist, and Mr. Carl Weiss of Weiss & Turney Organ Builder, Inc. -Jeff Scofield
