From the builder's website: This situation, like so many others, started with a failing electronic organ- this time in a historic church which was about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. There had never been a pipe organ at Crim, but more importantly for us, the building was never intended to accommodate one. We then had the challenge of building an organ in an extremely limited space, but which nonetheless had the resources to do everything expected of it. What was built was an organ containing six pipe ranks (on direct-acting electric chests), and one electronic voice (more on that later). The organ could be considered a “unit” organ, with every rank playing at more than one pitch (usually), but with careful design, the usual pitfalls of unit design were avoided.
