Waldensian Presbyterian Church, Valdese, North Carolina, has chosen Orgues Létourneau of Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada, as their organbuilder to design, build, and install a new 19-rank pipe organ in their historic church.
Létourneau’s Opus 133 will be placed in a painted case located in the apse at the front of the church from where it will speak directly down the nave. The organ’s two-manual console will be detached and reversed from the organ case and will have mechanical key action. The console’s ebony stopknobs will be in terraced stop jambs and will operate electrically via a combination action with 100 levels of memory. Completion of the instrument is expected for December 2017.
