Builder: Wangerin Organ Co., 1897 Renovated Schantz Organ Co., 1966; Berschdorf Organ Co., 1976; Hermes Pipe Organs, 2007 Manuals: 2 Ranks: 24? Action: Electropneumatic Notes: The Wangerin Organ was purchased in 1896 for the church's second sanctuary. The organ was moved in 1904 to a new sanctuary built on the same site. The sanctuary was remodeled after a small altar fire in 1966. The Schantz Organ Company built a new detached console. The entire instrument was now under one expression. The Wangerin 8' Aeoline was cut down to make a 4' Violin and a crescendo pedal was added. In 1976, the Berschdorf company split the manuals into two chambers on the left and right in the sanctuary with additional ranks in the Swell and the Great. A new sanctuary was constructed in 1999. The organ was transferred by Hermes Organ Co. with no changes in the specification. In 2005, the entire facility burned to the ground. The organ was the only thing that did not burn because it was behind the very last firewall. It was re-installed in 2007 by Hermes. Additional changes were made in 2013, replacing the Aeoline/Violin cut downs with a new Nasard 2-2/3'. The 4' Gemshorn was replaced with a new 2' Gemshorn. A new console was obtained from Organ Supply Companies. * Wangerin stops GREAT ORGAN 8' Open Diapason * 8' Melodia * 8' Dulciana * 4' Octave 2' Gemshorn (from Wangerin Gt 4' Gemshorn) III-IV Mixture 2' 8' Trompette 4' Regal (ext) Chimes (Deagan 25 notes) Gt to Gt 16, 4; Unison Off Sw to Gt 16, 8, 4 SWELL ORGAN 16' Bourdon * (tc) 8' Violin Diapason * 8' Stopped Diapason * 8' Salicional * 8' Voix Celeste * 4' Principal 4' Flute Harmonique * 2 2/3' Nasard 2' Blockflöte III Scharff 1' 8' Oboe * Tremulant Sw to Sw 16, 4; Unison Off PEDAL ORGAN 16 Subbass * 16 Lieblich Gedackt *(Sw) 8 Octave Bass (Gt) 4 Choral Bass (Gt) 2 Super Octave (Gt) 16 Posaune (ext-Gt Trompette 8') 8 English Horn (Gt) Gt to Ped 8, 4 Sw to Ped 8, 4 |
