Notes

2022-11-08 - Identified through online information from Michael Berman, who was the Minister of Music for St. Timothy's when the organ was rebuilt and installed. The 1967 Wicks was originally built for First Baptist Church in Decatur, Illinois. Some tonal modifications were made by the original builder in the 1970's. And in 1997, the Buzard firm did some major tonal work and added 10 new ranks. From the Buzard website, *"First Baptist Church decided in 2005 that its new sanctuary would not have room to accommodate a pipe organ, and the instrument was offered for sale. Buzard Pipe Organ Builders removed the organ to its factory, completely reconfigured the instrument, and added an 8’ manual extension to the Pedal 16’ Posaune. St. Timothy’s existing console was completely rebuilt, and a state-of-the-art solid state relay was installed. After six months’ work in the factory, the organ was installed in April 2006, with tonal finishing completed in the church to maximize the instrument’s effectiveness in its new home."* -Jim Stettner
