DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This organ is to be replaced in 2025-2026 by the 116-rank Aeolian-Skinner from the Curtis Institute of Music which has been given to Mother AME Zion Church as a gift. They, in turn, will be giving the Wicks as a gift to Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina.
Database Manager on January 5th, 2015:
Layout and scaling were designed by Mr. Ontko, who, along with Guy Henderson, installed and tonally finished the organ. Jack Steinkampf voiced the Trompette de Fete, a horizontal reed located in the gallery.
