Spencer Organ Company has been selected to restore the 1938 Kimball organ at Saint John's Episcopal Cathedral, Denver, Colorado, the last large organ built by the famous Chicago organbuilders, W.W. Kimball.
The four-manual, 96-rank 1938 instrument comprises Great, Enclosed Great, Swell, Choir, Solo and Pedal divisions, 32ft metal Diapason, an independent battery of Pedal reeds 32-16-8-4, and an impressive array of softer and orchestral voices. SOC staff removed the organ in June 2009 with the assistance of the Organ Clearing House; completion is anticipated by the fall of 2011.
