Holtkamp Organ Company, Cleveland, Ohio, has completed a new antiphonal organ for Christ Church United Methodist Church, Charleston, West Virginia.
The organ comprises twelve stops, twelve ranks, on two manuals and pedal, job number 2137. The action is electric slider with electro-pneumatic unit chests. It is played from the mechanical-action console of the church’s 1975 Holtkamp organ, 32 stops, 41 ranks, three manuals and pedal, job number 1917, through optical switching installed in the manuals and standard contacts installed in the pedal. The pipework for the antiphonal organ is for the most part drawn from the first organ purchased by Christ Church United Methodist, a fourteen-stop M. P. Möller organ built in 1903.
