The Reuter Organ Company has just finished a comprehensive tonal renovation of the Andrew Anderson Memorial Organ at the University of Florida. Located in University Hall, this five-manual, 99-rank Moller instrument includes vintage pipework from earlier Skinner and Aeolian-Skinner installations. Twenty-four new ranks of pipes were built to revise and enhance the Great, Swell, Positiv, and Choir choruses. Reed pipes in all divisions were rebuilt or replaced. Other stops were rescaled and wind pressures adjusted. Finally, the entire instrument was revoiced to achieve a new tonal balance, characterized by abundant fundamental tone and greater clarity.
