St. Mark's
Parish Church, Belfast |
The pipe organ in St. Mark's is a four manual
Compton, with over 100 stops and 1000 pipes approximately.Put another way, the
Swell
has five ranks, and the Great has seven ranks. The Pedal, Choir and
Solo are derived from these twelve ranks, plus 17 tubular bells.
There is
also a working Polyphone Cube which produces a wonderful BBBB and AAAA# but
then falls off a bit into the lower regions.
It is nevertheless a super
example of this type of stop, which is now all too rare, certainly on this
island.
Phoenix's initial involvement was to provide coupling, capture
and single cable multiplex transmission for this job - which is actually
extremelycomplicated when finely analyzed. In any event Phoenix rose to
this challenge, and we can now confidently say that we can
build a
couplingsystem for any size of organ, and further to that, it can be programmed
and reprogrammed very easily from what is
basically a text file on site.We
were also asked to provide a 32' reed, as most of the hardware was already in
the job.
The next involvement was when the organ was taken out of action
for phase two of the refurbishment contract, which concerned the
releathering of all the pneumatics in the soundboards. At this point we
were approached and asked to provide the necessary extra
hardware to allow
the church to continue with their music programme and still use their Compton
console to provide the organ.
This we did, and the endresult has surprised
- even fooled - a number of people.
The spec and
picture of the Compton may be found by following this link.
The spec of
the digital organ is reproduced below.
THIS ORGAN HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED. For details
