FARRAGUT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH


 

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come into his presence with singing.

About Our Organ

organThe three manual Renaissance (R-350) organ of Farragut Presbyterian Church was designed and built by the Allen Organ Company of Macungie, Pennsylvania. The organ is the first such instrument of its kind in Tennessee. It is the digital equivalent of a 3 manual, 79 rank pipe organ with 15 second voices for a total of 83 ranks of tonal resources. The instrument also has chimes, handbells, a harpsichord, orchestral harp, and a celesta. In addition, the organ is equipped with a MIDI division, which adds 100 additional voices to the instrument for a total of 184 voices available to the organist.

The instrument has a full antiphonal division, which allows the entire organ to also speak from the rear of the sanctuary. The custom oak console was designed especially for the decor of the sanctuary in oak with walnut trim, including sharps and draws.  The custom adjustable bench allows for the varying heights of players and the entire unit may be easily moved to the center of the chancel for recitals and concerts.
