NEW ALLEN ORGAN FOR CHRIST OUR LIGHT

Some photos from our recent installation of a new Allen Organ in Christ Our Light, Cherry Hill NJ. This new Allen Organ replaced a fully functioning Allen installed some 30+ years ago. It was determined that this would be a good time to replace their older Allen - during the renovation of Church's interior. This new Allen brings today's technology, a third keyboard, improved sound quality with Allen's exclusive sampling, and full MIDI capability.

NEW 4-MANUAL ALLEN ORGAN FOR THE BRYN ATHYN CATHEDRAL

We are proud to be part of the exciting addition of a new four-manual Allen for the historic Bryn Athyn Cathedral. The Bryn Athyn Cathedral is situated on a hill overlooking the picturesque Pennypack Creek Valley in the borough of Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania. Since 1919, it has been the worship home for the Bryn Athyn Church and a gathering place for members of the New Church throughout the world. This Four Manual instrument represents the current state-of-the-art in organ building, providing the organist with a full pallet within it's 79-stop design. Further, residing within this one console are 7 complete and distinct organs, sampled from famous organ builders such as Arp Schnitger, Schlicker, Henry Willis, Cavaille'-Coll, and others, each individually voiced as if they were 7 organs in seven different churches. The organ speaks from the rear gallery, at long last providing more space and allowing for proper choral accompaniment. Total flexibility for soloing sounds from the Chancel and complete enveloping sound will be realized upon the completion of the antiphonal organ. Allen's new Navigator MIDI addition provides hundreds of additional organ and orchestral voices, along with the ability to record the playing of this massive instrument.

Three-Manual Allen Organ for Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish

Grafton Piano & Organ Co. is proud to be involved with the new Church building of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, Doylestown PA. The main music gallery is home for both a new Allen three-manual organ and a Kawai Digital baby grand piano. The dedication held on June 11th was truly an experience to remember. The choir with brass, flute and strings, further accompanied by both organ and piano, filled this wonderful worship space with inspiring music under the able direction of Paula Furman. The addition of Allen's EAC provides complete flexibility using the organ's robust audio system for instrument reinforcement, while allowing the choir and soloist's to be channeled to the buildings ample sound system.
