This organ is my first departure from tracker action. The organist was eager to find a way to obtain a
pipe organ rather than to replace a Baldwin with another electronic. We were told that the pipe
organ project could only happen if the floor space occupied was similar to the Baldwin tone cabinets. Budget was
also very limited. Designing the organ needless to say was a challenge. Notice that I borrowed the Scandinavian
scroll-saw motif found throughout the church. It may be seen on the right side of the photo in the pulpit. |

In this closer view the console can be seen to the left of the pipe enclosure. Except for the front
pipes, and the low 12 Viola pipes (added later, and just visible peeking over the case
top) the entire organ is under expression via sliding "nag's
head" shutters.
The action is all electric. |
