Daniel Wicks on January 21st, 2025:

A lovely little organ. It sounds utterly pathetic at the console (hidden away in the side chapel), but really fills the room quite admirably, and with lots of lovely colours. The acoustics, which are marvelous, help it tremendously, of course. The massive Kilgen blower was retained by Holtkamp, I think - this might be the world's most copiously-winded 10-rank organ. You could probably triple the number of ranks and not notice any drop! The windlines, some of which are Kilgen, are gargantuan. On the console, the General Cancel doesn't work on every stop - the Pedal couplers and much of the Swell are completely unaffected by it and all the toe-studs are unlabeled. Despite having a solid-state combination action, there is only one memory level with 8 general pistons and no divisionals.

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by Don Hurd, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- Primarily a University of Cincinnati student ministry--mostly guitars and piano. Console is tucked out of the way with a long cable, underneath the pipe chamber. Chamber used to be crammed with Kilgen--now almost empty!
