Our new organ for First Presbyterian Church of Columbia, South Carolina, is making its move from the digital realm of CAD into the physical realm. From two Swell Chests, to pallets, swell shades, toe boards, and much more, our woodshop has been hopping busy! Even some of the pipework is getting a bath in anticipation of the building of this 4-manual/Pedal, 69 rank instrument!

The main crew finished up the installation of the Greg Harrold Opus 14 at Syracuse University this week. The instrument looks beautiful in its new home!

Aaron, Greg Harrold, and Manuel Rosales are staying to install all the pipes and make tonal adjustments to better match the organ to its new acoustical space. There are many people eager to hear the final result!

This past week we had a crew in Syracuse, installing this beauty in the St. Thomas Moore Chapel at the Catholic Center, Syracuse University!

This mechanical action organ was built by Greg Harrold in 1995 for the former Kay/MacBird residence in Los Angeles. A few years ago the organ was purchased by Syracuse University, and Parsons was contracted to remove the organ and install it in the new chapel.

Most of the structure and casework was completed by Saturday. A crew will be back on site this coming week to focus on the detailed work of installing/adjusting all the tracker action, put pipes in, and do tonal adjustments as the organ is now in a new space!

The last of our installation crew came home today! The organ has 15 stops installed and a two-man crew is spending the next few days getting things tuned and playing for Christmas! The tonal finishing crew will go back to Lynchburg after the Holidays to install the remaining pipes and do a final tonal finishing, as well as some other odds and ends that need attention. We’re very proud of how this turned out!
