The pipe organ for Saint Andrew's Church, designed and built by Quimby Pipe Organs Inc., Warrensburg, Missouri, is a four manual instrument of 65 ranks, and contains 3,640 pipes, of which 2,219 were retained from the previous 40-rank Aeolian-Skinner organ opus 1411 and revoiced for the new location. The organ uses Blackinton-style electro-pneumatic slider windchests and electro-pneumatic unit windchests for extended ranks. The new casework for the chancel organ is constructed of oak and contains 34 polished zinc pipes with tin mouths. The pipes in the case are functional and are part of the Great 8' Principal, Pedal 8' Principal, and Pedal 16' Principal stops. The antiphonal organ, which was the Aeolian-Skinner organ's Great division, features the Hooded Tuba stop, which is based on examples of the 19th-century English organbuilder Henry Willis I. The Pedal organ contains a full length 32' Contre Bombarde to low GGGG, with the remaining seven pipes being half length. These pipes are located in the old organ chamber. The key and stop functions are controlled by Solid State Logic multiplex relay system with player. The SSL combination action has 32 levels of memory, four ensemble pistons, four crescendo settings of which three are programmable by the organist, and a sforzando reversible, which is inclusive of stops drawn and independently adjustable on each memory level. All new pipes were constructed according to specifications provided
by the organbuilder by A. R. Schopp's Sons Inc., and Thomas H. Anderson,
former pipe shop foreman at Aeolian-Skinner. Electronics are used
for notes 1 through 12 of the 32' Contre Bourdon. John H. Hendriksen,
former head flue voicer for Aeolian-Skinner, revoiced the original
Aeolian-Skinner pipe work and four new ranks, including the Hooded
Tuba, in consultation with the builder. The tonal design of the
entire instrument and voicing and scaling procedures of the new
chancel Great division were accomplished by the builder. Organ Specifications
