Blessed Virgin Mary Parish on St Mary's Ridge

Rural Cashton, WI
Builder: Bernard Schaefer, ca 1910
Grandall & Engen, 2013
Manuals: 2
Ranks: 11 (13)
Action: Electro-pneumatic (slider)

Notes: In 2013 the organ was rebuilt by Grandall & Engen. It had not played for decades. Tubular pneumatic chests and action were replaced with Blackinton style slider windchests from Organ Supply. A new Syndyne relay system, new keyboards and stop action operate the new mechanism, with a new blower in a silencing box under the chests (eliminating a loud blower in the bell tower). There was enough room to add a 2' stop to each manual division. The pipes are in approximatley the original locations inside the case.
