After three weeks of installation work, the heavy lifting is nearly done. It has been nothing short of miraculous to see the evolution of St. Peter’s new pipe organ, Fisk Opus 136, be born before our eyes. From the unloading on March 21 to the facade pipes shown here, the organ assembly is about to move to a new stage: tuning and voicing. With the vast majority of pipes installed, the processing of making this beautiful instrument “speak” is about to begin.
One of the organbuilders on the installation team, Dana Sigall, gives vestry member John Hurst a tour of the inside of the organ--complete with a tutorial on the different kinds of pipes. Here, John is shown holding one made of wood.
