The Team

Here's a photo of members of the Robert William Wallace Pipe Organs install team toward the end of a week of excellent work. On Monday Mark Scholtz and Bill Hamner will start tonal finishing of the Great, Swell and Pedal. Those divisions are running and have been tuned several times as well as had some voicing work. 


We have most of the Choir chests set up, winded and wired. Around Nov. 10 we'll get the Choir finished and put in the pipes, including the big Tuba. When that's done we'll put in the facade pipes. There are 28 of them and the will stand on four separate toe boards mounted in the top of the cabinets in the sanctuary (altar area) below the organ.  They will be winded from two offset chests in the Great chamber. Hoses, one for each pipe, will run from the offsets to the toe boards below. That will be an exciting day!
