wicks, as an entry level manufacturer of pipe organs, has historically filled the niche for the cheap pipe organ. There is probably room for only one such builder in the industry. The direct electric action was a departure from what all of the upper tier builders in the industry were using, i.e. some form of elecropneumatic action and this placed wicks in a class all by themselves. They have been and remain the most notable of the low end organ builders.

Very interesting and thanks for sharing. Most organs should last for at least 75 years, unless they're very badly built or are discarded due to changing fashions. The instrument I play was built in 1892 and is still going strong after only one significant restoration in 1996. In fact, Ireland is chock full of mid-19th century organs still very much in playable, musical condition.

Oh, forgot. If you want to see the specification and a picture of the display, go to the Wicks web site and look up op.3850.

Wicks always interests me. I was responsible for buying a 20 rank used Wicks for our church. It was rebuilt by Wicks, enlarged to 30 ranks and turned out very nicely. It also cost a fraction of what a new organ would have cost. (almost all the additions were ranks from a "parts organ" we already had.
