Lewtak project, Macon, Georgia

Lewtak Pipe Organ Builders, Mocksville, North Carolina, is rebuilding the organ of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Macon, Georgia. 

The three-manual instrument was built by Henry Pilcher’s Sons of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1903 as Opus 440 and rebuilt by Pilcher in 1937 as Opus 1829 with 43 ranks of pipes. In 1985 the Schlicker Organ Company of Buffalo, New York, installed an organ, retaining portions of the Pilcher façade, console, and pipework. 

The Lewtak project is to be completed by Christmas 2026. Gregory Hamilton is parish music director.
