About the Hybrid Pipe Organ
The pipe organ at Faith Lutheran is a “marriage” of the church’s existing 1969 Schantz pipe organ with the newest RODGERS four manual- Infinity- digital organ. The new organ was carefully reconditioned, designed, and voiced with unity as the goal. The Schantz pipe organ brings 24 stops (32 ranks) to the union, while the new Rodgers Infinity 484 console brings a massive amount of advanced digital technologies to complete the organ’s unique design.
The combined instrument has a total of 442 available stops (576 ranks) plus 58 orchestral sounds.
The Rodgers voices are digital recordings from some of the best pipe organs in the world reproduced live through bi-amplified stereo speakers located with the existing pipes and in the rear antiphonal cases.
