Gabriel Kney of
London, Ontario, installed a nine-stop instrument in the chapel of First
Presbyterian Church in Findlay, OH. Seating only around 40 persons, the chapel
seemed ideal for an instrument influenced by the concept of the English chamber
organ. The expansion of this concept to two manuals and independent pedal
allows the instrument to assume a more varied musical role in chapel
activities, including chamber music. The dedication service of the instrument
on October 10, 1994, included the performance of a commissioned piece for
chamber organ and flute by composer Gerald Near.
The painted casework
is made of tulip wood; the hand-carved pipe shades of basswood, covered
with gold leaf. The trim around the keyboards is of mahogany. The keys are
covered with ebony wood (naturals), and rosewood with bone overlay for the
sharps. A balanced back fall system is used for the key action. Two bellows
provide steady wind at low pressures, allowing for gentle voicing; 40 mm for
the manuals, 60 mm for the pedal. The sixth comma tuning temperament is according to the late 18th-century English musicologist Thomas Young. Key compass 54/30; keyboard measurements to A.G.O. recommendations.

Wm. D. Miller, Inc., Pipe Organ Builders, Cleveland, MO, has restored the 1929 Wangerin organ at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Fort Dodge, IA. The 13-rank Wangerin was originally installed in a small chamber to the left of the chancel with very limited tone openings. It was moved from the chancel to the rear balcony. The original windchest was replaced with Miller electro-mechanical chests, and 10 new ranks were added. New casework was constructed, and the speaking display pipes are finished in gold to match the Gothic design of the sanctuary. All switching mechanisms and the four-memory combination action were by Peterson Electro-Musical Products. The console is a 2-manual stop-tablet installed in the old Wangerin oak shell. Tonal additions were designed by Stephen D. Miller, Donald R. Terry, and Elton F. Sprengeler. The organ was installed by Donald R. Terry, Steve Kramer, and Stephen D. Miller.
