Fabry Inc., Fox Lake, Illinois
First Congregational Church, Huntley, Illinois
Fabry Inc. recently completed a total rebuild of this
instrument. The organ was dismantled and returned to our shop facility for this
project. Originally we were contracted to rebuild the existing main chestwork;
however, upon inspection, we decided it was more economical to build totally
new main chests than rebuild the existing main chests.
The remainder of the rebuild included all new electric valve
manual main chests produced by Fabry Inc., electric expression motors, two
multiplex relays, electric tremolos, stainless steel slide tuners, releathered
main reservoirs, three new offset wind supply reservoirs, a new blower unit and
reservoir, and total solid state conversion of console. An 8’ Trumpet, a
four-rank mixture, and chimes were added in the Great, and a 22/3’
Sesquialtera II was added in the Swell.
Fabry Inc. would like to thank Richard Allen, chairman of
the music committee, who handled all negotiations and coordinated the entire
project. Vernon Studt is organist of the church.
David G. Fabry built all the new chestwork and console. Crew
leader Joseph Poland handled the reinstallation.

Glück New York,
New York, New York
New York Stake Center, The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints, New York, New York
Located directly across Broadway from Lincoln Center for the
Performing Arts and The Juilliard School of Music, the building houses New
York’s new Mormon Temple, as well as this chapel, which serves several
wards. The small accompanimental organ arose from a collaboration between Dr.
Clay Christiansen, organist at the Mormon Tabernacle since 1982, and Sebastian
M. Glück, tonal and artistic director of the firm.
The instrument speaks from a lofty position behind the
rostrum of this large worship space within the New York Stake Center. The
spare, contemporary visual design was the preference of the client and their
architect, Frank Fernandez. Educated as an architect, Mr. Glück was
involved early in the planning stages of the chapel in order to achieve visual
balance, optimal placement, and a resonant acoustic.
The pipework is made of 50% tin, with the bass octaves of
the larger ranks constructed of zinc. Poplar is the timber of choice for the
Pedal flutes and the Swell Stopped Diapason. Haskell re-entrant tubes are used
for the lowest notes of the Pedal 16’ Contra Bass. The pipes speak from
electro-pneumatic slider-and-pallet soundboards, with traditional
electro-pneumatic pouch windchests for the duplexed and extended stops.
