	The Redeemer Organ
	The core of this instrument is a 1949 Æolian-Skinner voiced by G. Donald Harrison and dedicated by E. Power Biggs. When the roof of our bell tower gave way in 1991 and flooded the Great and Pedal divisions, we decided that the time was right to improve the way the organ speaks into the nave, so Reuter was selected to re-engineer the instrument and build some new ranks for us (replacing much of the previously muddy Great). A lot of the bass was replaced by Allen Organ digital sampling, as well as a new Solo division and an ancillary Great that addresses a dead spot acoustically midway down our nave. We are delighted with the results of this wedding of Æolian-Skinner, Reuter, Allen and the Antiphonal division by Austin. M.Stairs
