    ...30 days to go! ... I'll be setting up an installation blog so anyone who wishes can follow along. And if you pass through NJ, let me know. They should be installing first week of August, then three months of tonal finishing.

    The console will have "tracker-touch" manuals, which I've heard good things about from Scott Riedel. You can visit the Gluck Pipe Organs site to see a better drawing of the case and, at the bottom of the page the console. Sebastian tells me he took cues from early 20th century residence organs (tabs on side jambs) for the console design. http://www.gluckpipeorgans.com Happy Fourth of July!

    Congratulations to you and the Church. The time frame sounds about right so you should be in fine shape for the Christmas activities. The case looks very attractive and the console has a clean, efficient look. I have I have heard good things about Gluck instruments and like the sounds from the website. I expect you are becoming very excited.Look forward to your updates. Happy Fourth to you.
