Instruments

at Hadwen Park

At the heart of our musical expression lie two exceptional instruments:

Mason and Hamlin
Grand Piano

A true gem in our sanctuary, lends its elegant notes to every service. From classical preludes to contemporary postludes, its versatility enriches our worship experience.

Organ

American Classic Organ Co. Opus 16, 2005, originally Estey Organ Co. (Opus 3087, 1938)

15 Ranks - 23 Stops - Electro-Pneumatic, Electric & Pitman Windchests

Steeped in history yet equipped with modern technology, our American Classic Organ Co. Opus 16 stands as a testament to our commitment to musical excellence. With its expanded range and unique construction, it fills our sanctuary with majestic tones that inspire reverence and awe.

The organ was expanded from 434 pipes (seven ranks, or sets of pipes) to 910 pipes, (fifteen ranks, including the future addition of the Trumpet) with the addition of a rebuilt windchest and 488 pipes. The Estey organ windchests were rebuilt, using a different technology than was in practice by the Estey company in 1938—direct mechanical solenoids—rather than leather-pneumatic actions.

The console is fully solid-state, meaning that there are no relays that control organ performance, etc. Through the new keyboards (replaced during the reconstruction) the organist’s performance is translated into serial data that is then transmitted to the pipe windchests via a standard computer LAN cable (8 wires).

The result was a “new organ” built from parts of several historic instruments from around the country—there are even some pipes from Germany!
