 Patrick
J. Murphy and Associates, Inc. have completed and installed a new 3
manual, 38 stop instrument which replaces the 1920's era Möller while
retaining some original pipes.
The tonal design is reminiscent of English Romanticism. Features include
a partially enclosed Great, 8’ Harmonic Flute, 16’ wood Violone, and a
large scale high pressure "Willis" style Tuba playable on the Choir at
8’ and Pedal at 16’.
New Blackington style slider wind chests were constructed for the main
manual stops; most unit chests are Electro-pneumatic in design. The
drawknob console, constructed of oak and cherry, features EM Skinner
styled keyboards and toe stud pistons.
Multiple levels of memory with transposer and record/playback features
provide the necessary flexibility to successfully and authentically
accommodate repertoire from all musical epochs and genres.
