St. Peter's Armenian Apostolic Church

St. Peter's Console

The new organ is a complete rebuild of the previous instrument. It is divided into left and right chambers in the front of the church. The Great and Pedal Bourdon are on the right and the Swell is on the left.

The console was rebuilt with 2 new keyboards and new solid state couplers. The pedalboard was reconditioned with new contacts. A New tilting tablet stop rail was installed and fitted with a 12-memory combination action. The console features an Automatic Pedal stop, which when active plays the lowest note being played on the manual on the pedal stops. This allows keyboard-only players to achieve the full sound of the pedal notes.

New Great and Swell windchests utilize 1 3/4" solid poplar toeboards and expansion cell electro-mechanical action.

4 new ranks of pipes were added. All existing pipework was revoiced.
