L T Sprinkle & Associates
1990

Updated through online information from Lawrence T Sprinkle. -- Bob Twomey's love of organs began as a young boy when he was enrolled at Christ School in the seventh grade. He sang in the choir and started taking piano lessons. Before long he realized he really wanted to get to know the pipe organ in the chapel. Later, while attending NC State University, he was married in a service that took place in the chapel at Christ School. He told his wife after the wedding, "that organ will be in our house someday." Years later he learned that the school planned to purchase a new organ and he immediately contacted them and bought the organ he had longed to own.
In 1989 Mr. Twomey designed and constructed a family room addition to his home specifically to house the organ. In its latter years at Christ School, the organ had deteriorated significantly with the chamber door often open to the elements and curious visitors. Most of the stops had missing and damaged pipes and the windchests and other mechanical parts were in rather poor condition. L T Sprinkle & Associates started Mr. Twomey's project by taking a careful inventory of the collection of parts he had carefully dismantled and moved from the school to his home. From that "parts list" they designed an organ specifically for the new addition. The majority of the pipework was replaced with appropriate stops recycled from other organs. Items such as the solid-state relay and the 8' Trumpet were purchased new to complete the design.
The organ was dedicated to the memory of Mary K. Twomey, Bob's mother, on April 21, 1991

Altered and relocated existing organ.
