Trust me, they won't put in a digital, I've talked to people and I haven't met one person in the church who wants a digital, it seems everyone wants a new *pipe* organ, but they just aren't ready to raise the funds to pay for it.
I understand. I have been told that they usually price around 1 million dollars. Many of the big ones are even more. I know there is a lot of custom work that goes into them and they are kind of like adding onto the actual building they are housed in, but man that is expensive.
I assume that the organ has pipe work in the two wooden cases on either side of the chancel.....plus in what appear to be two chambers with grills opening into the nave....yes?
Hmmmm this is a Noel by....Couperin.....or is it Dandrieu? I'm too lazy to get the music:))
That would be the set up of our organ. The original organ, a Hook Hastings(?) tracker, was in the center of the chancel, where those 3 blue windows are now. In 1925, Estey replaced that organ; the Estey organ was 'rebuilt' in 1974 by Fritsche. I don't know if those Gothic Wooden Screen Structures were put in in 1925, 1974, or another time all together. I think they're ugly! I wish could show off our organ with a facade(s), but the church isn't exactly worried about the organ right now!
Cool. I really hope they don't replace it with a digital. But, then again, some of them like Walker are sounding more and more like the real thing.

Very nice. I agree with you about the wooden screens. Some kind of pipe faced would be nice.

Hopefully when the organ is replaced/rebuilt, they'll put in a nice Victorian pipe facade to match our very Victorian sanctuary.

The pieces played here are
"Basse et Dessus de Trompette" by Clerembault
and "Adantino" by Edwin Lemare.
