Abiding Savior Lutheran Church
Milwaukee, WI

The organ at Abiding Savior Lutheran Church is conceived along traditional North German lines with the necessary adaptations which allow the organ to achieve good balance and blend in the church. The instrument contains 16 ranks, 906 pipes, and utilizes suspended mechanical key action and mechanical stop action. The casework is of white oak and incorporated architectural detailing which is used in the church. The voicing and tonal finishing of the instrument were completed in the church to assure the best balance and blend considering the unique acoustics of the room. The instrument contains four ranks of pipes which were rebuilt from old pipes. The Swell windchest was also rebuilt from an early 20th century Odell organ. All other material is new. All mechanical portions of the instrument, as well as the flue pipes, were fabricated in the Builder's shop. Pedal duplexing is by transmission of wind.
