John-Paul Buzard Pipe Organ Builders, Champaign, IL, has built a new organ for First Congregational Church, Crystal Lake, IL: opus 16, 18 stops, 24 ranks. Although the original church was built in 1867, this is the congregation's first pipe organ. The first instrument was a reed organ which served faithfully for nearly 100 years. The reed organ's handsome case was made into the church's pulpit, still in use today. A Hammond electronic instrument followed, which the new pipe organ replaces.
The church expanded its crowded chancel to accommodate the
large music program and the new organ, installed front and center as a backdrop
for the worship space. The project incorporated the organ's design into the
greatly expanded chancel, harmonizing with the stately American colonial
architecture of the building.
The tonal design is a contemporary adaptation of American
organbuilding styles prevalent when the church was originally built. One notes
a large percentage of wood pipes as in earlier times. There are more open and
harmonic stops than one might typically see in new "eclectic"
instruments. The disposition of the flute choruses, large-scaled Great Open
Diapason, and plaintive English Oboe are also reminiscent of many 19th-century
organs. The inclusion of mixtures on both manuals, a full battery of Swell
reeds, employment of contemporary voicing techniques and classic scaling
concepts provides a contemporary sound for leading hymn singing, accompanying
choral and instrumental ensembles, and rendering a wide variety of solo
literature.
The Great division is located in the left side of the organ
case, with the Swell enclosed on the right side. The Pedal is divided between
both the Great and Swell. Facade pipes are from the Pedal 8' Octave and Great
8' Open Diapason, made from lightly polished English tin. Members of the Buzard
staff include: Phillip Campbell, Brian K. Davis, Stephen Downes, Charles Eames,
Michael Fisher, Charles R. Leach, Stuart Martin, Jay Sallmon, and Ray Wiggs.
Eva Wedel is minister of music of the church; Barbara Thorsen is organist.

B. Rule & Co.,
New Market, TN, has recently completed a four-stop practice organ for a
residence in Knoxville, TN. A simple mechanical action of cherry backfalls and
correctly-sized pallet valves ensure a responsive touch, including a definite
sense of "pluck." The action compensates for seasonal humidity
changes. Several ranks of 19th-century pipework, small-scaled and gently
voiced, were incorporated into the organ.
The old Vox Humana was revoiced into a regal-type reed. The Principal
4', made by Paul Byron of York, ME, has eight polished tin pipes in the facade.
The customer, who has experience with building harpsichords from kits, was able
to do some of the work, including painting the case, recovering the recycled
keyboards (c. 1865) with boxwood, and cutting out the patterns in the
ornamental center door panels. Windpressure 23/4"; temperament 1/6 comma,
after van Biezen; compass 56/30; couplers I/Ped, II/Ped, II/I.

The Schlicker Organ Company, Buffalo, NY, has built a new organ for Forest Park United Methodist
Church, Fort Wayne, IN: three manuals, 36 ranks. The new organ replaces an
instrument that was severely damaged by fire. Some of the pipework was
restored, rescaled, and revoiced in keeping with the concept of the new instrument.
The 3-manual English style console is moveable, and the choir has flexible
seating, allowing a variety of performance possibilities. Chest design is
electric slider with a solid state combination action.

John-Paul Buzard Pipe Organ Builders,
style='font-weight:normal'> Champaign, IL, has built a new organ for First
United Methodist Church, Park Ridge, IL: Opus 15, 34 stops, 42 ranks. The
church is a brick structure designed in the 1920s by a member of the
congregation. Of Tudor influence, the exterior features patterned brickwork,
interesting chimney treatments, and lavish half-timber work. The sanctuary's
interior features heavy hand-adzed dark oak beams, almost square windows, and
low arches.
The organ's cases were inspired by the oldest extant pipe
organ, in Sion, Switzerland. The heavy embattlement crenelations and mouldings
atop the towers and flats match details in the room and in architecture of the
period. The arched facade openings match the stained glass window frames and other broad arches elsewhere in the building. The casework of white oak is stained to harmonize with other furnishings. A simple universal pattern woven into circles is used for the pipeshades.
Tonal design was inspired by English cathedral organbuilding
style. A straight 3-manual organ would not fit within the available space or
projected budget, but the organ had to have a wide variety of unison colors,
complete choruses, mutation stops, reed stops for the Full Swell, a profound
pedal, and a high volume solo stop. A two-manual, divided swell concept was
developed to offer accompanimental flexibility and eliminate duplicate stops
needed to fill out a complete third division. Although inspired by English
examples, it is not an English romantic organ. A light articulation in the
speech of appropriate stops, moderate wind pressures, and inclusion of mutation
and mixture stops serve to make this an American organ of the 1990s.
Because of limited space in the balcony, the Great division
is housed in a free-standing case in front of the balcony rail; the Swell and
Pedal are in the balcony behind matching casework. The Great case is supported
by columns extending to the nave floor. English tin of 75% was used for the
facade pipes, incorporating the Great 8' Open Diapason, 4' Principal, and Pedal
8' Octave. Great flutes are 50% tin with relatively small mouths. Reed pipes,
with the exception of the low octave of the Pedal Trombone, are made entirely
of 50% tin, and utilize English shallots with varying degrees of opening and
taper. The Tuba 8' is horizontally mounted atop the swell box, just behind the
flats. The pipes retained from former instruments were thoroughly rebuilt and
revoiced for the new tonal concept. The Buzard staff included: Brian Davis,
voicer, pipe repair, tonal finishing; Stephen Downes, windchests, winding
system, framing, installation; Charles Eames, engineering, windchests,
electrical system, management; Michael Fisher, pipe repair, tonal finishing;
Charles Robert Leach, case, framing, installation; Stuart Martin, case,
framing, installation; Jay K. Salmon, office and Zen management; Ray Wiggs,
windchests, console, installation.

T. R. Rench and Co., Racine, WI, has completed a new organ for Coon Valley Lutheran Church, Coon Valley, WI. This is the third pipe organ in this Norwegian Lutheran church, and replaces a theatre organ installed in the 1950s. (The style 135 Wurlitzer is being re-installed in its original theatre in nearby Viroqua, WI.) Containing 17 sets of pipes (19 ranks), the new organ is of electro-pneumatic construction, and all windchests are of the unit type. Windpressures are 5" for the 16' Trumpet and 33/4" for the organ in general. The stoplist reflects 19th-century American and German Romantic tonal styles. However, a Cornet group is provided and the Swell division contains the basic elements of a Positive division. The layout of the instrument has the Swell in the organ chamber and the Great in front, contained by casework of walnut and mahogany. The front display pipes are from the church's first organ, restored to the original stencil designs and colors. Consultant to the church council was John Henley of Sauk City, WI.

The Schlicker Organ Company, Buffalo, NY, has built a new organ for First United Methodist Church,
Green Bay, WI. The 29-rank organ is located in divided cases in the rear
gallery, allowing it to speak clearly into the nave. The tonal concept provides
a complete 2-manual organ with 8' Principal choruses in each division. In order
to increase tonal flexibility for solo literature as well as accompanying the
choir, three Swell stops were given a separate manual and couplers as a Solo
division. This allows them to be used as part of the Swell chorus or in
contrast to it. The three-manual, terraced drawknob console is prepared for a
future antiphonal division, playable from the Solo manual. Schlicker's artistic
director, J. Stanton Peters, designed the specification and scaling to include
broad scaled principals with high cut-ups and a wide spectrum of colors, producing
a vocal quality and versatility in its liturgical function.

Visscher Associates,
Santa Cruz, CA, has built a new organ for Trinity United Methodist Church,
Chico, CA. Casework is of California walnut and Eastern black walnut. Facade
pipes in the towers are of polished copper, with the center pipe in each
"point" having a "flamed" upper lip of polished tin. Facade
pipes in the flats are of 75% tin. Key and stop action are mechanical. Swell
shades immediately behind the facade pipes provide expression for the manual
stops except the 8' Prestant. The depth from the wall to the front of the case
is 60 inches, which allows choir members to stand in front of the organ when
singing. To make the organ this shallow, bottom octave pipes of the Pedal 16'
Subbass and 16' Bassoon were located in recesses on the back wall to either
side of the main case. Having only space and funds for a smaller organ of 14
stops, the decision was made to opt for what is basically a single manual division with "either-or" registration, allowing any of the manual stops to be played on either keyboard. The option not taken, of dividing the stoplist between two independent divisions, would significantly decrease registration possibilities. Manual stop levers move up to the "on" position for the upper keyboard, to a detent in the middle for off, and down to the "on" position for the lower keyboard. The bottom 12 pipes of the 16' Contra-Bassoon are unique in that they employ "Haskell" miters for
the bottom octave. The two-piece resonator has a half-length "cap" of
parallel proportions fitting over a half-length, tapered bass, creating a
continuous taper, full-length, 16' resonator in nine feet. Dr. David Rothe was

J.F. Nordlie Company,
Sioux Falls, SD, has built a new organ for Edina Community Lutheran Church,
Edina, MN: an electro-mechanical action instrument of six ranks. The free
standing case and open keydesk are constructed of rift sawn red oak. The low 20
pipes of the Principal 8' are made of polished aluminum and make up the facade.
The console is connected to the organ by a single fiber optic cable allowing
flexibility in placement. The integrated combination/relay action as built by
Matters, Inc., allows complete programmable control over the switching system
and a sophisticated combination action complete with transposer and player
mechanism. Carsten Slostad is Music Director for the church and served as
consultant on the organ project. The organ was built in the Nordlie shop by
craftsmen John F. Nordlie, Paul E. Nordlie, Trintje Nordlie, David L. Beyer,
Martin D. Larsen, Eric Grane, James Greenwald, and Beth MacDonald.
