Austin Organs, Inc.
Opus 2692, 1985

Updated by Steven Bartley, who maintains the organ.

The church is a medium large mildly neo-Italian stone building constructed in the 1950s. In the early 2000s the main floor was redone with carpet under the pews and ceramic faux slate in the aisles and elsewhere. The altar area was also renovated. Acoustics are quite good. Organ is in the balcony, with exposed Great and part of Pedal across the rear wall, arranged around a rose window. These pipes are very solid in their sound, though the East facing rose window does have a negative effect on tuning during the morning hours. The Swell lives in a side chamber, to the right of the center placed console. Its specs, and voicing render it a Choir division, as the over all effect is timid and with no 8 or 4 Principal, somewhat blurry. The Trompette is extremely loud and thin in tone, and can be used only sparingly. The lack of solidity in tone and temperature fluctuations prevent tuning stability with the Great division.

Organ has suffered a little from leaking AC unit which is located above the Swell division, and sagging of bass pipes made of soft zinc. Overall a fairly successful installation.
