Statement from the Builder:

This instrument, the first major project of Marceau & Associates, replaced an aging Kimball pipe organ. Most of the existing pipework was revoiced and is located in the original chambers. A new freestanding Great case of red oak featues an 8' Principal facade with pipes of flamed copper and polished tin. The highlight of the organ is the flamed copper 8' Trompette en Chamade. When added to the full chorus this stop prides a crowning toudh to the musical ensemble. The delicate Rohrfloete on the Great, the colorful Koppelfloete on the Choir and the haunting Flute Harmonique on the Swell are examples of the variety of musical choices found on a Marceau Pipe Organ. --Marceau & Associates, Pipe Organ Builders, Inc.
