1983 Hammes-Foxe Pipe Organ

Since 1983, Plymouth Church in Milwaukee has enjoyed the sounds of its electric-slider-action pipe organ.  It has served the congregation well in the past 30 years.  However, tastes change and things wear out.  Because of this, it had become apparent that some significant work should be directed to the instrument to update the console technology, correct some tonal imbalances, add some crucial new organ voices and stabilize the winding and chest actions of the organ.  Buzard has been honored to be the people chosen to carry out this important work.  As part of the process, a new 16′ Violone was added to the instrument to provide depth and warmth to the ensemble.  Further, our Tonal Director carefully studied the instrument pipe-by-pipe, and did a painstaking tonal reassessment of the instrument.  The final product is more technically reliable and more tonally radiant.  Larry Wheelock is the Artist in Residence at the church.  We thank him and the Parish for their faith in us to carry out this project!
