Builder: Hendrickson Organ Co, Opus 49, 1979 Manuals: 3 (coupler manual I) Ranks: 24 Action: Mechanical Notes: Known locally as "The Bell Organ", it contains a Laukhuff Glockenspiel located behind the music rack, a wind-driven Zimbelstern in the main case, and a 2/5' Jeu de Clochette that includes a tierce on every note. The funds for the organ were given by Mary Kahler Hench, widow of Dr. Philip Showalter Hench, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1950 for discovery of Cortisone. Hench worked at nearby Mayo Clinic. The case is made of solid walnut. Consultant was Merrill N. "Jeff" Davis, who was organist here at one time. Half of the organ was voiced by Robert Sperling and the other half by David Engen. Anthony Newman played the dedication concert. The horizontal trumpet is partly regal. Notes 1-12 are 1/4 length; 13-24 1/2 length; 25-36 full length; 37-54 double length. -- Notes by David Engen RIPIENO (54 notes, manual III) 8' Prestant 8' Spitzflöte 4' Octave 4' Spielflöte 2' Glockenspiel 1' Principale 2.2/3' Sesquialtera II Plein Jeu VII 8' Trompetenregal Cymbelstern CONTINUO (54 notes) 8' Gedackt 4' Gemshorn 2' Rohrpfeife 2/5' Jeu de Clochette II 16' Musette PEDAL (30 notes) 16' Soubasse 8' Prestant 2' Blockflöte 8' Trompetenbasse Tremulant to whole organ |
