The organ in the
Concert Hall
of the Frank Moody Music Building was
created by the Holtkamp Organ Company of Cleveland, Ohio, at the
instigation of Warren Hutton, then Professor of Music and University
Organist. The instrument was funded entirely by private donors.
There are sixty-five and one-half independent stops and eighty-six
ranks of pipes. There are some five thousand pipes in the instrument.
The key action is mechanical (tracker action), and the stop action is
electric. There is mechanical intermanual coupling, but there is also
additional, electrical coupling for Swell to Great, Positiv to Great,
and Swell to Positiv. These three special couplers are designated
with an "E," so there is a "Swell to Great E" coupler as well as the
usual "Swell to Great" coupler.
Walter Holtkamp, the builder, described the physical organization as
follows: "The Solo, an enclosed division, is located directly above
the console. Above the Solo is the Great and at the top of the
central section we placed the Swell. Flanking the Great and Solo is
the Pedal. Above the Pedal, on each side, is the Positiv."
The instrument was installed in 1988 and featured in that year's
September issue of The American Organist. Here is the specification:
