Schantz Organ, Opus 2228, 2003

 

List and notes supplied by Dr. John A. Davis, Jr. ñ May 2004

 

The organ has a full range of couplers, including 16í and 4í couplers on the Great, Swell, and Choir. The divisions also couple to one another at 16í, 8í, and 4í pitches, and there are unison offs on all three manuals.

 

There are 12 generals, controlled by both manual and pedal pistons, and each division has 8 pistons. The Swell and Choir are in separate chambers, with appropriate control. The Great is u nenclosed, as are some of the Pedal stops. There are 99 levels of memory, so players will be assigned their own memory level(s), which can remain until after they have performed.

 

There is a balanced crescendo pedal, and there are two full organ combinations. There are light signals on the console for all of the above, including indicator lights for the swell shades and crescendo pedals.

 

The lights on the console go on when the blower is turned on, and should not be operated separately at the console. There are additional lights behind your back, operated by a switch on the wall ñ to your left.

 

The bench is adjustable by the crank on the left hand side. It is best not to crank it while seated. (Thanks!)
