PIPE ORGAN NEWS

PIPE ORGAN PROJECT UPDATE, Sunday, October 28, 2007

Work has progressed over the summer on the main organ chests which operates all of the pipes of the instrument. This has required many hundreds of hours of releathering and rebuilding. Many thanks to the numerous men and women who have volunteered their time to learn this labor intensive task.
In September, two of the completed chests were lifted over the choir railing and placed in the loft. In addition, planning for construction of the swell chamber was done. After completion of the remaining chests, the choir risers will be reconfigured to allow room for the remaining pipes.
Many thanks to all who have helped in fund raising efforts, most recently from the sale of wedding gowns and from candles. Voluntary donations are also continuing to come in and as always thanks to our volunteer work force.
There is still much work to be done. Many unit and offset chests must be releathered as well as all of the regulaters (bellows) which stabilize the wind for the chests. The console which controls all of the pipes must be rebuilt with new components and the new digital switching system must be purchased and wired into the organ.
Your continued donations and support is greatly
appreciated. OLS Music Ministry

Our church will be filled with beautiful music as a result of this acquisition. The choir is accepting donations earmarked for the restoration fund. More news will follow regarding fundraisers. Please try to be generous!!!
