Initial Steps
The first steps of work have been taken. In early November the Dan and Aaron Bogue came to take measurements of the chambers, openings, wind pressures, and pipe scales. They took several middle C's with them to serve as samples for the new Celeste ranks.

In addition, details regarding the new console were discussed. The new console will in many ways attempt to match the style of the current 1950's Moller console, while better matching the existing woodwork in the church.

Using the information gathered on this trip, plans for the completed organ and console will be drawn up, new pipe ranks will be ordered, and work will begin in the Bogue shop on construction of new components for the Great and Pedal chamber and on the new console.
