Ballard Pipe Organ Company
2000ca.

Database Manager on May 3rd, 2015:
Updated through online information from Julius Coyle. -- After a fire in the church destroyed the previous organ, this organ was installed in 2000 or 2001. The previous home of the organ is unknown (the builder's plate gives 1997 as the installation year) but the mitering of the lowest basses of the Gedeckt rank indicate that this organ either had another home, or the Gedeckt rank was originally intended for a different organ. The lack of couplers, reeds, and mixtures means that the organ is fairly muted "at full cry", but the extensive unification means that a variety of tonal colors can be realized. The organ is located in the center of the gallery enclosed in an expression box, with pipes 1-49 of the 8' Principal rank exposed in the facade. The remaining pipes of the Principal rank is mounted in an offset chest behind the facade, in front of the swell shades. Pipes 1-21 of the 16' Gedeckt rank are located to either side of the expression box, with the lowest notes mitered. Two wooden screens block the Gedeckt pipes from view. The rest of the pipes are located in the expression box. The lowest notes of the 8' Salicional rank are mounted horizontally inside the enclosure. The Chimes are mounted on the left-hand wooden screen.
