Phoenix Organ Installation Diary at Streetsville United

At a special congregational meeting held December 15, 2002 the congregation of Streetsville United Church approved the purchase and installation of a Phoenix PD-351 Digital Organ to replace its current Keates Pipe Organ with some components dating back to 1920. This diary will attempt to log the progress of the organ's construction and installation during the spring of 2003.

Completing the Organ Loft

Over the past couple of days Rob has been staining and finishing the new woodwork in the organ loft. Great match to our existing pulpit and choir loft woodwork.

Today Don Anderson returned to spend a couple of hours doing further voicing on the English specification. John Shillingberg, our Music Director, arrived early for Choir practice as he was designated organist for our Mother's Day service. This provided Don with an opportunity to sit in the sanctuary and actually listen to his handiwork in action; John obliged with a Bach piece and a variation on Praise to the Lord. John gets more enthused with the potential for the organ every time he has an opportunity to practice or play.

Don will return next week to voice the other two specifications.
