ST. PAUL'S UNITED CHURCH
Midland, Ontario, Canada
PD 470 Hybrid

Phoenix Organs and Mead Pipe Organ Service installed a 4 manual, 70 stop hybrid organ at St. Paul's. The organ has 23 pipe stops and 47 Phoenix sampled stops, as well as a new 4 manual Phoenix console with walnut interior, pictured at top right. The pipe ranks are from a 1960's vintage Hallman Organ originally from All Saint's Kingsway, Toronto. Phoenix Organs actually recorded each pipe of that organ before it was dismantled in 2009.

At bottom right is a pic of the newly renovated platform area. The organ chamber was moved to the centre-back of the platform. The original pipe chamber was very small and the organ buried. The new, larger instrument speaks well into the body of the church  The new space will benefit the many concerts held in the church.

The organ has a wonderful blend of pipes and sampled stops producing a silvery sound with thrilling Swell Reeds.  Andrew Mead, pictured at centre right, who installed and voiced the pipe organ, was extremely pleased with the total result.

The opening recital with Donald Anderson and Christopher Dawes is on May 15/10 at 7:30PM.
