Updated through online information from Dr. Franklin S. Miller. <br>Stop preparation for Gemshorn 8',Gemshorn Celeste 8' and Cymbal III, though, as I recall, there is no space on the chests. A few years ago I had correspondence with a former organ student of mine from Howe, who seemed to think the Gemshorn and Celeste had been added at one time. I have no confirmation of this. <br>There is a photo of the instrument in the September, 1961 issue of "The Diapason", as well as a discussion by Noehren in the 1960 two-manual issue of the same publication (There are a couple of discrepancies regarding number of ranks from my description above--sorry!) I discuss the instrument in detail on pages 173-177 of my autobiography "My Life in Music", published in 2001. (You might find it at your local Goodwill or Salvation Army for around 99 cents!)

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Timothy E. Conyers, using information from this web site: http://www.thehoweschool.org/all-saints-chapel.aspx. -- The chapel was built in 1961 and seats 500. Above the altar is a large wood carving of the Last Supper. The stained glass depicts the life of Christ. The organ was built by Robert Noehren and placed within a case in the rear gallery. Some pipes are exposed to form a facade. The console is detached, facing the case, and centered in the gallery. The floors are tile and there are no cushions on the oak pews, allowing the organ to speak clearly in the room.
