Custom Built Pipe Organs

Opus 46

Baltimore, MD St. Mark’s Lutheran Church – Baltimore, Maryland

The tonal design is reminiscent of English Romanticism. Features include a partially enclosed Great, 8′ Harmonic Flute, 16′ wood Violone, and a large scale high pressure “Willis” style Tuba playable on the Choir at 8′ and Pedal at 16′. The Echo division remains unaltered at this time and was integrated into the new instrument, as was the Trumpet en-Chamade located in the Gallery and exposed under a rose window.

New Blackinton style slider wind chests for the main manual stops were constructed in the woodshop. Most unit chests are electro-pneumatic in design. The drawknob console was constructed of oak and cherry, and features EM Skinner styled keyboards and toe stud pistons.

Multiple levels of memory with transposer and record/playback features provide the necessary flexibility for this respected high liturgical downtown location.
