Falkner Swamp Reformed Church
Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania

When the organ committee of Falkner Swamp Reformed Church of Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania ecided to replace their 1920's Tellers they challenged us to create a more flexible specification than the previous ten ranks that could still be housed in the existing space.

The end result was a very flexible unit design that judiciously draws it's resources from fourteen ranks including a three-rank mixture and full-length 16' Contra Trumpet. The instrument is enclosed in a striking case, restored from one of the church's earlier instruments, a 19th century Krauss. Using the shell of the existing console, the relays, switching and combination action were replaced using the Matters solid state system. Provisions were also included at the console for MIDI interface, transposer, and record/playback capabilities. New electric action windchests were constructed in our shops to fit the existing case.

The resulting organ is an instrument that will play a broad range of the organ literature as well as accompanying a variery of music styles. All stops are enclosed unless otherwise specified.
