Fabry, Inc., completes its “Opus One”

The console of the organ of Second First Church, Rockford, Illinois

Fabry, Inc., has completed its “Opus One” from the new shop in Kenosha, Wisconsin. 

The console of the four-manual, 68-rank Skinner/Wicks/Lindsey-Scott organ from Second First Church (Second Congregational and First Presbyterian), Rockford, Illinois, was removed to be converted to solid state using the Peterson ICS-4000 System, which also included a new chamber relay. New console items included wood drawknob banks, an inter-manual coupler rail, pistons, toe studs, expression and crescendo shoes, drawknobs, rocker tablets, re-finished pedal keys, and new LED music rack and pedal lights. 

The project was completed during September 2025. Valerie Blair is music director/organist of the church.
