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.

As of today, the drawstop tabs are being inserted into their solid oak panels and the toe piston mounts are being installed in the footboard. While some components were lost in transit from England, Phoenix Organs in the UK has put out extra effort to get out replacment modules such that we can still work to our original installation target date. The photo to the right shows an oak plank 10' x 20" x 1-1/2" that will be used to create the drawstop panels.
