Goulding wood indianapolis in

In the years that followed, Mr. Goulding and Mr. Wood built a strong team of like-minded organ builders who shared a solid commitment to building electro-pneumatic-action organs with the artistry and refinement usually associated only with mechanical-action builders.

As an electro-pneumatic slider and pallet windchest, it marries the time-honored benefits of common key channels with the flexibility of remote key action providing for movable consoles and flexible coupling and control systems. The efficiency and simplicity inherent in this system have long been recognized for their contribution to the long-term viability of an instrument. Slider chests have few working parts to wear out, and when the time for major maintenance comes, access and scope of work are optimum for easy restoration.

One of the specific design considerations for Mr. Goulding was ease of long-term renewal, so that an institution will not be saddled with exorbitant costs typical of many refurbishment projects. This organ was in some ways a working out of tonal ideas that laid the groundwork for the much larger instruments in the Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta and Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans.

An assiduous student of past voicers, Mr. Woods relished restoring old pipework, particularly in the renovation projects the company undertook on instruments from many different builders and eras. As the sole voicer, Mr. John Goulding, who oversaw the design and construction of the organs, was joined by his son, Mark Goulding, in The casework and facade pipes were painstakingly restored along with the rest of the former Sanctuary of Central Avenue Methodist Church, which is now the Cook Grand Hall of the Indiana Landmarks Center.

One stop was added, the Pedal Trombone 16, and the pedal compass was extended from 27 to 30 notes. The harp unit from was restored and reinstalled with the organ. The former Aeoline is now a Celeste.
