With the acquisition of our new Phoenix digital organ in spring 2003, components of our previous Keates Organ became available for sale. They have now been sold to an enterprise that will incorporate them into either new traditional pipe organs organ rebuilds.
Console: (From the 1980 specification):
2 manual, 61-key console plus 32-note concave and radiating pedal clavier. Best suited to provide a shell, manuals and pedalboard for a digital organ built from components.
Changes in 1980:
- 3 Master Pistons (toe) to operate Swell and Great Pistons.
- New Solid State switching action, to include couplers as specified.
- New manual key contacts and rails.
- Pedalboard rebuilt; keying action activated by reed switches.
- New wiring, placed in channel with covers
- Stop keys re-engraved and added to conform to new (stop) specification
The above is taken from the specification for the 1980 rebuild of the organ; there is no guarantee as to performance 23 years later.
