J.F. Nordlie Company,
Sioux Falls, SD, has built a new organ, opus 31, for Sankte Georg Kapelle at
The Little World of Man Museum in Inuyama-shi, Aichi-ken, Japan. The museum includes a 7/10 scale replica of the Unter-Ammergau church in its Bavarian Village display. The room has a richly frescoed barrel-vault ceiling, three polychromed and gilded altar pieces, wood and plaster carvings in high baroque and rococo styles, a quarry-tiled floor and excellent acoustics. The case design and stoplist imitate South German prototypes from the mid 18th-century. High baroque design and artistry guided decisions about case shape (a central void between the bass towers frames the west window) and details (moldings copied from organs in Innsbruck, carvings and paint colors found in numerous Bavarian and Tyrolean kirchen). Mechanical key and stop actions; flexible wind by a single-fold wedge reservoir, curtain valve and feeder bellow or high speed
electric blower; wind pressure 55 mm; 168 metal pipes of 80% tin, 24 wood
basses of American black walnut; casework of painted poplar and oiled white
oak, with gilded moldings (23k goldleaf) and carvings (poplar); keydesk of
black walnut with ebony and boxwood-plated carved sugar pine keyboard, carved
walnut keycheeks, gilded keyheads, 8 bone-studded boxwood drawknobs; burl elm
music desk; maple and walnut-plated white oak pedal keys (having antique
sharpkey profile). Compass 54/27.

Kegg Pipe Organ Builders, Uniontown, OH, has built a new organ of 16 ranks for Trinity Lutheran
Church, Winfield, KS. The existing gallery chamber was rebuilt with sound
reflecting walls and the exterior was refinished in white to match the rear
wall. The Swell and Pedal Subbass were placed in the chamber; Pedal Principal
and Great Principal chorus were encased on top of the chamber. The standard
Kegg console is a terraced drawknob design with walnut interior, and fitted
with multiple memory SSL combination system. Manual keys are reversed color and
fitted with tracker touch; naturals are covered in ebony and sharps are covered
in walnut with bone caps. Pedal sharps are walnut. Console and case are of
white oak; the console is movable throughout the gallery. The dedication was
played by John Behnke, who also served as consultant to the church. The dedication also featured the church’s choirs under the direction of Sandy Yount, director of music, and Amy Haist. Norma Orr was chair of the organ committee. Organ construction and installation were by Charles Kegg, Frank Vinton and Lois Lee; tonal finishing was done by Charles Kegg and Frederick Bahr.

A. E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Sales and Service, Inc., Lithonia, GA, has built an organ for Covenant Presbyterian Church, Huntsville, AL. The new organ incorporates the 1968 Schantz organ opus 837 (II/13) from Grace Episcopal Church, Gainesville, GA. With the exception of the 16' octave of the Gemshorn, all of the Schantz
pipework was reused. New pipework was purchased from Giesecke-Colby, USA,
enlarging the instrument to 24 ranks. The console was rebuilt and additional
chestwork was constructed in Lithonia.
