Opus 18 is the largest organ ever designed by myself. The organ is a huge instrument, containing 4 manuals, and 117 ranks. The case holds the principals of the organ. The case layout is as follows: the center tower holds the pedal ranks, to the left of the tower on the first level of facade is the great, and opposite is the swell. above the great is the solo, and above the swell is the choir. The chamade is on 14″, the military trumpette is on 10″, and the solo is on 8″. The rest of the instrument is on 4″. The rear of the church, which should have a reverberant acoustic, will have a totally enclosed echo division, which is on 3.5″ and under double expression. The royal trumpette in the rear is polished copper, and on 12″ of wind. The visual design of the case is as follows: the center tower, solo, and choir casework forms a stylized cross, and the pipe mouths, and tops represent the rolling hills, and mountains. The conosle will be a “new style” french drawknob console, to be built by C B Fisk. Please enjoy the instrument. Use the links below for pictures.

Unique and quite ambitious! Contains some unusual stops some of which I had not heard of. {:-)
