Our Lady of the Assumption, Tilton NH



Laws electrification of Hutchings chassis with Estey pipework. 9 ranks of tuning Hell. Chests follow the roof line with trebles as far into the corner as you can imagine. This organ probably not tuned in 30 years! Now it sounds like a million.

More pics and a video later.

Aeolian Skinner electrification of Hutchings. This is the secondary stage of three needed to open the large bass note pallets. I'm using x- thin kangaroo.

The LDS Chapel, Longfellow Place, Cambridge MA

Today a crew consisting of Dick Pelland, Richard Nickerson, George Gibson and James Marchant installed a specially designed Johannus Ecclesia organ in this worship space. The original pipe organ was destroyed in a devastating fire May 17, 2009. After two years the chapel has been rebuilt in the same style but with greatly expanded facilities. The original pipe chambers were reduced in size to a point where a pipeless organ was the only option.
