Opus 61, 2007ca.

Updated through online information from Jay Mitchell. -- Organ began as three divisions, on two manuals, 21 ranks. After renovation, organ has been revised to five divisions (an ancillary division of ca. 1923 "antique" stops makes up the fifth division, floating). There is a restored 1951 Austin console playing the revised organ, 3 manuals, 90 registers (tabs). The original pipework was researched with an onsite visit by Dave Broome, the original designer of the organ. New pipework was made from his scale recommendations. Mr. Richard Jacoby, of Kassel, Germany, was employed to do the final finishing. He adhered to traditional Alsatian techniques, which rendered the instrument a very cohesive blend of sound. The organist of the church wanted an additional "romantic" division of voices, so a floating ancillary was added, consisting of celesting strings, and Vox Humana. Other notable stops include the Positive division Spitzflotes, which are direct copies from Ernest M. Skinner, and a Glockenstern of eight bells, set in the F# major diatonic scale, as provided by Jay Mitchell & Assoc. New pipework was made to specification by Eastern Organ Pipes, Inc. of Hagerstown, Maryland. "New" three manual console was located and sold by Organ Clearing House. Console overhaul and new electronic keying system was provided by Klann Organ, Inc., Waynesboro, Virginia. There are two new blowers, both custom made by The Zephyr Electric Organ Blower Co. Inc., Orrville, Ohio.

Identified through online information from Jay Mitchell. -- Rebuild and enlargement of existing organ, resulting in 34 stops over four divisions.
