Schoenstein organ for Atlanta Cathedral

Schoenstein & Co. of Benicia, California, is building a two-manual, 14-voice, 16-rank organ for Mikell Chapel at the Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta, Georgia.

The organ, which replaces an electronic instrument, is in the symphonic style and includes a double expressive division within the Swell. The comprehensive Swell division is duplexed on the Great, which comprises an 8′ Open Diapason and 4′ Principal.

Schoenstein previously built a new console for the cathedral’s Aeolian-Skinner organ, and the new chapel organ’s console will incorporate many of the same combination action and playing aids to facilitate use for practice. Installation is scheduled for September.
