The exposed Great and the C# side of the 16'
Pedal Posaune. The facade pipes in the Opening are the lowest notes of the Great
and Pedal Principals, respectively. Only the Erzähler "lives" in the chamber.
Everything else on the great was moved out of the chamber and onto this exposed
chest.
This three manual instrument, consisting of
40 ranks disposed over 43 stops, is based on the church's original 1968 Reuter
two manual instrument. All of the pipework was originally enclosed in a chamber
and spoke primarily into the Chancel, which did not give the congregation the
full benefit of the sound produced.
It was the organist's desire to alleviate
these deficiencies, as well as to expand the versatility of the instrument to
enable performance of a wider range of literature thus, a three year project was
begun. Administrative approval of the project, planned jointly by the Board of
Trustees and the Memorial Committee with the support of the Worship Committee.
Administrative approval of the project was received in May, 1981.
To accomplish these goals, new windchests
were placed in an exposed position on either side of the Chancel to accommodate
the additions. The revised Great Division is positioned on the right side of the
Chancel, while the newly created Positiv Division occupied the opposite site.
The Principals of the Great Division are exposed on these new windchests, while
the flutes and Erzähler remained enclosed. Other stops were added throughout the
Divisions as noted in the specification. The Pedal Posaune is also mounted in an
exposed position in the front of the Chancel divided diatonically between the
Positiv and Great chests. The balance of the Pedal and the Swell remain
enclosed.
The instrument incorporates Electro-pneumatic
Key and Stop action. Schneider Pipe Organs, Inc. handled some of the technical
aspects including the tonal engineering, voicing of new pipework, re-voicing of
used existing stops, and supplying all required chests for the additions. The
organist of the church, Mr. David J. Knippel, was responsible for the
specification as well as the installation design and work. When the installation
was complete, the final tonal finishing of the instrument was carried out by
Richard Schneider and David Knippel, assisted by Eugene Nelson from the
church.
The Dedicatory Recital was played by David J.
Knippel on October 21, 1984.
