Builder: Welte-Tripp/Kimball, 1931 Manuals: Ranks: 16 Pipes: Action: Electro-pneumatic Notes: Welte-Tripp Organ Company of Connecticut won the organ contract for the new building (which would have made it 1931). The English Ensemble-style instrument featured sixteen ranks of pipes, and chimes using designs by Robert Pier Elliott (the most important organ builder of late 1920's America) and voiced by Richard Oliver Whitelegg. Welte-Tripp produced "first class symphonic church organs" even after the firm went into receivership in 1929. Soon after Welte-Tripp sold the organ to Mount Olive, the Kimball Organ Company purchased the company and integrated it into the Kimball business. Designed to fit into the narthex gallery, the small organ, relabeled Kimball, served the congregation until 1966. -- Mount Olive history book |
