Fabry, Inc., Antioch, Illinois, has completed a project at Bexley United Methodist Church, Columbus, Ohio. The church’s 1923 M. P. Möller Opus 5284 was expanded by the builder in 1960, and again in 1981, when Möller rebuilt the organ with a new three-manual console.
In this recent project, Fabry accomplished rebuilding the console using a Peterson ICS-4000, which features record and playback through its integrated MIDI system; all new chamber relays and rewiring of the organ using PVC color-coded cables; installing two electric shutter actions; and two electric tremolo units. A tonal addition of an Erzahler Celeste was provided in the Antiphonal division. A new Antiphonal chamber pipe chest and two new Swell Gedeckt unit offset chests replaced four water-damaged chests. Finally, a larger Zephyr blower unit was placed for the Antiphonal’s future addition of an 8′ Bombarde.
