Henry Pilcher's Sons
Opus 943, 1917

Updated through online information from William Barger. -- This organ is the only pipe organ ever to be installed in Clay County, Alabama. The wind chests had electro-pneumatic primaries installed by Garvin Daniels in 1955 along with new keyboards and stop controls. In 1980, Howard Best converted the original chests to electro-mechanical action. This work was not satisfactory. In 2004, Barger & Nix built all-new electro-mechanical chests and enlarged the instrument. The data given here reflect the original size and design of the organ which remained the same until the 2004 rebuilding work.

The instrument was revised and rebuilt several times, including some somewhat unsuccessful work done in the 1980s. It has now been replaced by an instrument by Barger & Nix.

Identified through information in VolumeIV p. 124 of the Pilcher factory ledger and a list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. See the document referenced below.
