Builder: Eric A Fiss (ca 1969) Manuals: 1 Stops: 6 Ranks: ca 14 Action: Mechanical Notes: Standing on stilts to the left of the altar, the keydesk under the wind chest is at floor level, with both key and stop action visible. Pull-down pedal. Built in Germany for Fiss by Laukhuff. Though small, the organ has a few unique stops. There is a mounted 5-rank Cornet and the mixture is large at 5 ranks in the treble. The 8' Gedeckt with a copper bass is harmonic from middle C, which can be seen in the lower picture. (Stopped pipes overblow at the 12th, not the octave. To get a stopped pipe to play middle C as a harmonic the pipe must nominally be as long as G in the bottom octave. There is virtually no difference in tone from a normal length pipe!) Keyboard is split, bass and treble. I tuned this organ once in the 1970's. Stoplist below is from photos provided by Kenneth Yost, 2019. -- David Engen TREBLE 8' Schweizergedackt (harmonic) 4' Spillpfeife 8' Kornet V 2' Principal 1.1/3' Nasat 2' Scharf V BASS 8' Kupfergedackt 4' Spillpfeife 2.2/3' Rohrquinte 2' Principal 1.1/3' Nasat 1' Scharf IV |
