Organ Specifications
The organ was designed and built in 1996 by the Berghaus Organ Company of Bellwood, IL with Dr. John Eggert serving as the church’s consultant. It is comprised of 28 ranks with 1,516 pipes on two manuals and pedal. Slider windchests are used for the Great, Swell, and Pedal divisions with an all-electric action windchest used for the Trompete stop. The movable oak console has keyboards of maple naturals and rosewood sharps. Tilting tablets placed above the top keyboard control the stops and couplers. MIDI capabilities are available on both manuals and pedal. The Swell and Pedal mixtures, Zimberstern, and MIDI components were installed in the 2004 Organ Completion Project. |
