HISTORY AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CASAVANT ORGAN

Opus 2670

Westminster Presbyterian Church
Dayton, Ohio

1993 marked the 30th anniversary of the dedication of the Casavant organ. Custom designed and built to meet the acoustical and musical requirements for our church building, it blends the grand sounds of the classic organ with the orchestral color of the romantic type.

The organ is really two organs - a Main Organ at the front of the Sanctuary and a Gallery Organ located in the balcony. Each has its own console. Together, these organs have over 7,000 pipes arranged in 122 ranks.  Every pipe, including those visible from the pews, is a speaking pipe.

The Vox Humana was provided by the Paul E. Wells Living Memorial Music Fund of Westminster Church. The Tuba Magna (Solo), Grande Chamade (Solo), Trompette Royale (Great), five-rank Symphonic Strings (Choir), Zimbelstern (Choir) and Offenflöte (Pedal) were provided by Larry Stofer. The Sesquialtera (Swell) was given in memory of Angie Stofer. The above additions were installed by Mr. Stofer.  Most recently the R. A. Colby Company of Johnson City, Tennessee, custom built and installed a new console, which includes state of the art technology.
