About Our Organ
The 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.
