The Organ
The Roy Redman Organ, Op. 17, was consecrated on December 4, 1977, just a year after the congregation moved into the present nave. It was created from pipes gathered by the third rector of St. Margaret’s Parish, Father Blanchard Boyer. In the words of Keith Shafer, the parish’s gifted young organist at the time of the Redman organ’s creation, “Father Boyer had connected the pipes using antiquated wind chests and an old console. I knew we were in trouble the first time I attempted to play this ‘instrument’ as, to turn it on, one had to tape two wires together.” The organ is a tracker organ, whose pipes are directly connected to the keyboards. It has 24 stops and 32 ranks of pipes. Roy Redman of Ft. Worth, was able to use most of the pipes in Father Boyer’s original organ, adding only 3 new sets. The cost is remembered to have been around $35,000. See the stoplist here.
