DESCRIPTION
The NEW organ at Hillside Presbyterian Church is the culmination of a project that spans a period of over forty years. When the organ components began to fail and suffer age related problems the church looked towards many considerations to replacement or rebuilding of the organ. The basic corpus of the organ tonally worked well for choral and congregational accompaniment. The original organ was conceived as a temporary organ by church member and Atlanta organ builder Mr. Dwight Peck.
Our firm was contacted and looked at this project with compassion towards retaining the dream of a pipe organ in the church by this late Atlanta pipe organ builder. In the very best form of individual and corporate charity, several members of our staff and management offered significant items to the church including the console, faηade pipes, chimes, and several ranks of pipework.
The organ was rebuilt with several new ranks, a new flamed copper faηade, a replacement console, and several new ranks to expand the organ from its previous size and tonal range. The mechanical systems were thoroughly renovated with new chests, new framing, and new winding. Our firm is very proud to have been a part of keeping the vision of an Atlanta organ builder alive and continuing to have a pipe organ used in worship at Hillside Presbyterian Church.
