St. Andrew's Episcopal Purchases Allen Organ

Just in time for Advent and Christmas, St. Andrew's got a new organ. Here is a picture of Norman, St. Andrew's organist at the Advent service rehearsal. It sounds great and Norman is mastering the highly technical elements involved in playing it.

The organ was made and installed by the  Allen Organ Companies, America's oldest organ manufacturer.  www.allenorgan.com

The hurricanes of 2005 and 2005 caused major roof damage to St. Andrew's and water had got into the organ even though the church immediately started covering it with plastic when it was discovered that one of the roof leaks was right over the organ. 

It took a couple of weeks to get it entirely installed and properly tweaked. The salesman spent quite a bit of time with Norman so by the time we rehearsed for the Advent Service of Lessons and Carols, Norm was already pretty accomplished on this technologically advanced organ.
