Scott Dettra needs to consult with Mr. Helms. Scott is the organist at Washington National Cathedral. He said the organ is only 30% Skinner. Plans are on hold now to put a Dobson in place of the Skinner. He has said it needs some major work. Hope they do not rip it all out.

@march131958 No kidding!

I understand they do not use this wonderful organ enough for services. Do not understand. Why would a church choose a piano and/or a "praise band" instead of this instrument? I love the pipe organ with choir... more serene and holy.

@march131958 This church is very good about using their instrument. As far as I know they use it for every single service. They have a very good traditional music program. I completely agree with your synopsis.

is that a 32' stop i heard or just several stops coupled together

[jpwsml]

It has a couple of different 32 ft stops.

@march131958 I agree, "praise" bands bite big time.
