2021-05-11 - In 1996, the Seminary once again contacted Andover to build a small organ to supplement its Opus 84. They needed a portable organ for continuo and accompaniment, and for taking on the road with the Seminary choir. Jay Harold Zoller, organ designer for Andover, both designed and built the portable. It is a four-stop positiv organ, with a 54-note compass. Tonal design and finishing was done by John W. Morlock. The keyboard shifts one note for early music at A 415. Its appearance is Colonial Georgian. Sturdy casters make it easy to move, while folding doors protect it in transit. A 110 volt blower is built into the case. The organ measures 57 inches wide, 33 inches deep, by 50 inches high. The portable was installed in the spring of 1998. Rev. Stephen P. Folkemer, Music Director at the Seminary, liked the looks of the instrument so much that he requested it be installed in a ruckpositiv position near the larger organ. The two organs were connected by an "Orgamat" system from Laukhuff in Germany, in order to play the small organ from the main console if desired. The orgamat, designed for use in tuning, sits on the keyboard of the small organ. It is activated by Opto-electronic contacts on the chamade keyboard. --Andover Organ website -Paul R. Marchesano
