Updated through online information from Rodney J. Weed. -- This small highly unified and duplexed Anitphonal organ was installed first to fill in while the large Gallery organ was being built. When the Gallery organ was installed in 1986 this unit organ remained in place as an independent instrument and also as the Antiphonal division of the Gallery Organ. It can be turned on and off and is fully playable and controllable from the Gallery Organ Console as well as from its own movable console in the front of the Cathedral.

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Rodney J. Weed, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The Cathedral signed a contract(s) with Wicks to rebuild the old three manual Schaefer organ in the gallery. At the same time either in a separate contract or as part of this contract the Cathedral contracted for this organ, a small very unified and duplexed five-rank organ with a two manual console to be installed in the Front of the Cathedral while the Gallery organ was being built. It was then to be the Antiphonal Division of the Gallery organ. The Opus number for this organ is 6055 and the number for the Gallery organ is 6054. This Antiphonal organ was installed in 1985 several months to a year or so before the Gallery organ (Opus 6054) was installed in the Gallery. <br><br>I know this because I played this organ when there was no organ in the Gallery and also because I helped carry in the pipes for the Gallery organ and the Antiphonal organ was in place when that was done. It is amazing that Wicks could squeeze 30 stops including a Celeste and III rank mixture out of 5 ranks of pipes. It is by far the most unified and duplexed organ I have ever come across.
