Wicks
Opus 5409, 1974

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Great and Pedal are exposed at the front - Great on the right, Pedal on the left. The Swell and Choir are in expressive chambers behind the Great. The Antiphonal division is in its own expressive case in the rear gallery with glass louvers. The organ was designed by F. Eugene Miller and G. Russell Wing. It is a very unique instrument and not what one might expect from a typical Wicks of the period. When first installed, it is rumored that Wicks declined to put their nameplate on it. There is a small amount of recycled pipework in the instrument. The Swell 16-8-8-4 reed ensemble is a-traditional, but works admirably. The Swell also features a composite Cornet of 8 registers/9-stops from 8' thru 8/9 None. The Antiphonal has many unique registers, but of note - it has 7, 12-note ranks of fractional pitches that repeat every octave and all called "Harmonics." 2/8, 2/11, 2/13, 2/15, 2/16, 2/17, and 2/19.
