7 Manual Digital Organ Voices
Home. Organ that become History or Heritage can be handed over to the Museums around the country if they find it acceptable. It may not be a bad idea for Churches to have a museum section housing their history,their efforts and their memorablia. The Science Museum located on Birla Planetorium close to Guindy Park Road can be an option for Organs preservation as a Museum exhibits.
The TELC Arulnathar Church in Kellys,Chennai,had upto the late 1. Organ accompaniment with the aid of a Hammond Organ(2 manual and full pedal board), quite unusual in this part of the world(For long I was under the impression that this was a Hammond B 3 Turn wheels Organ though it did not sound like one. Now that church has a web site and it lists that Organ as having being received in 1. Germany which means that it must be an electronic organ for the Hammond stopped its turn wheels organs in 1.

It might be a good idea to get it restored or even retrofitted with a New Organ Mechanism ). My Uncle,Mr Paul Somasundaram, recalled an event in the 1. Hammond Organ in that church.
It is sad to see its state of repair for it now functions as a keyboard stand for the Yamaha Keyboard that is used in its stead. Its unique and glorious notes and sounds and combinations are heard no more. I have also noticed a small reed organ beside the Non- functional Hammond. Years ago,I had visited the church while in attendance at a Wedding in the Mid 1.
The wedding of the son of Mr Jonathan,Headmaster,Ret'd,ELM Fabricious School). An Old Organist was drawing out notes from an old Reed Organ(It was very low in Volume of Sound) placed near the swanky Hammond(As it looked then). I was wondering why he was not using the Hammond. At another Wedding, around the same time a young Organist(probably played regularly from the mid eighties to the early nineties) was playing on the Hammond Organ and then at the end of the service went on to play some delightful sheet music from the organ repertoire(I could'nt recognise it though but I remember it sounded like a song sung by Remo Fernandes at a Big Games(May be Commonwealth Games) event conducted in New Delhi at that time. I remember the Brother of Benny,Organist TELC,Ambattur mentioning this Organist's name but it has slipped through my mind. This brother of Benny was a member of the Lutheran Mens Voice at that time in the 1.
Later,I got introduced to the Lutheran Church Traditions as my Wife belonged to the Lutheran Church. One Lutheran Mens Voice concert was conducted at the Adaikalanathar Lutheran Church,Purasawalkkam. Mr Rajeevan David was to accompany the choir on the Keyboard(That was the first time I saw him).
He got delayed due to the traffic. Mr Prabhu Dorairaj,the Conductor of LMV got an idea. The young Lutheran Organist (Would like to get his name identified)led the congregation through a session of informal praise and worship and this young Lutheran Organist that I am talking about played some vamping style keyboard music to accompay the LMV. The Pipe Organ was silent through out the service. There was a talk about the church going for a Console Electronic Organ due to the precarious condition of the Pipe Organ.
When I visited the church after some years,I found a Complicated Wooden Cabinet housing a Keyboard. Many years later now,I see that the Pipe Organ has been resurrected again. Coming back to this Organist,I found him giving full Keyboard accompaniment to the choral music of the LMV at CSI Emmanuel Church Anna Nagar and that was before I left for the North to take up my Governmental Posting in the KVS in 1. His four part accompaniment with the LMV for the Hymn,'All hail the power of Jesus Name' from memory(Without Sheet Music) impressed me very much.

Just around that time I remember that there was a huge Electronic Organ in that Emmanuel Church(Anna Nagar). One Lady was faithfully playing that Organ. A keyboard was seen in the vicinity and it was being used with possibly a growing popularity for the Tamil Keeerthanai in the mid 1. Tamil Songs. At the Time of the LMV Concert in Emmanuel Church,it had been pushed to the corner in a position that indicated that it had been given up. After some time ,that Organ was no longer seen in the church and Keyboard got an Organ Cabinet in its stead.
My Uncle Paul Somasundaram told me that it had been sold off. The Emmanuel Methodist Church in Vepery had a Pipe Organ until the time when the church was renovated in probably 1. That Church has a rich collection of Pianos, Organs(Technics(now transferred to Manali Methodist Church after servicing which was done by Mr Chella Kumar),Viscount Digital),keyboards, etc.

An electronic organ is an electronic keyboard instrument which was derived from the harmonium, pipe organ and theatre organ. Originally, it was designed to imitate.
Electronic/Digital Organs - For the discussion of electronic organs of all kinds, both home- and church organs, including hybrid pipe/digital organs a. 7.All Saints Church,Trichy:1 reed Organ. A Two Manual Content Digital Organ has been purchased and the Old Reginald Spinet has been respectfully placed safely.
In 1. 99. 4,when the Pipe Organ was still functional,I saw this Technics in a Beatiful packing describing the Donor,Made in Germany',reference etc. After the church's restoration,I found the Organist (Mr Bevin Roy) using a Microphone to pick up the sounds of the Organ from its Cabinet speakers. The old pipe organ existed in a dismantled state in EMC's auditorium waiting and waiting for an installation or restoration( A Concert was planned by the Choir for a possible restoration until they they discovered the true state of the organ) for they also serve God ,those who stand and wait for orders(John Milton).
It was reported that the church committee was not interested in the re- installation in the days following the renovation of the church though Mr Chella Kumar,Pipe Organ Expert had expressed his interest. The Pipe Organ was probably found to beyond repair years later when some people considered a possible re- installation and as per the latest news , and was sold out as scrap in the month of May 2. Mr Bevin,the veteran Organist told me(over phone) that the Pipe Organ before its eventual dismantling was in a bad shape with some stops having become irredeemable. The TELC Anbunathar Church in Anna Nagar Chennai,used to have an 2 manual and full pedal board Artronica Electronic Oscillator Organ but that has now been donated to a TELC church in (Pandur Village),Tiruvallur(One can only hope that it is put to a good sheet music use),the church having purchased a Yamaha 2. Rs 1. 80. 00/- I believe) ,obviously a loss for Organ Sound enthusiasts(An Organ is worth much more). Now ,I have come to know that the Artronica had to be shunted out due to its poor condition. The keyboard certainly does seem to come a cropper thought the Artronica was a simple organ by International standards.
Now,the Church seems to have arranged a two keyboards cabinet to make it sound or appear like an Organ with two manuals. At present it looks as though,the Organ Sound will come back into the church through a new Digital Organ. Ref: Photo Gallery. The Pipe organ in TELC Adaikalanathar church has no pipes at present. Probably the Church is attempting to restore the Pipe organ.(It has been Restored: 2. The Pipe Organs in St Matthaias Church (Doveton,Chennai) and St Thomas' Church(Santhome Chennai) have been silent for along time.
Their consoles now house Reginald Electronic Organs. The Pipe Organ at the Roman Catholic Santhome Cathedral is listed as an Antique Pipe Organ on its Web Site. Mr Chella Kumar has been approached for a possible resurrection of the Organs at St Matthaias (Vepery,Chennai) and Christ Church(Mount Road,Chennai){: 2. All Saints Church,Trichy: 1 reed Organ(came to know now that this organ was purchased from a Circus company long time ago),1 Reginald (probably retired from service),1 Content Organ,1 Small pipe organ without pedals. The CSI Zion Church at Chindadripet in Chennai has a functional Pipe Organ now after the restoration that was done a few years back.
A small non- functional Pipe Organ(Small enough for it to be lifted by two people)at Holy Cross Church in Perambur,Chennai, was brought back to life through the original hard working effort of one Indian,one Mr Chellakumar(a freelance service technician for Promusicals service center , Musee Musicals service center and Krish Musicals service center: all Chennai b)- a praise wothy effort indeed! The Pump mechanism developed problems recently and the new Organists not being keen,it is back to the keyboard story. The CSI Christ Church in Ambattur,Chennai, continues to use one 1. Reginald spinet Organ for its services.
It is still functional and surprisingly is being used in a makeshift shed(2. This church is now considering a purchase of a new 2 manual Digital Organ to be installed in its huge church structure that is being built now,as per reports. A Two Manual Content Digital Organ has been purchased and the Old Reginald Spinet has been respectfully placed safely in the corner near the choir stall. My love affair with the organ started with this instrument which was purchased in 1. This Reginald Organ had Four Big Speakers on its Cabinet. Obviously two Bass Speakers and two lead speakers. An output line probably with amplified circuiting led to to two Box speakers(One Bass and one lead ) which were mounted on the wall towering above the Organ.
This was a spinet Organ with divided manuals for the left and the right hand and a 1. Pedal Clavier and a Volume Pedal.
Pedals had Flute 8 Ft and Flute 2 Ft Stops. The Lower Manual for the Left hand had Flutes 1.
Ft,8 Ft,4 Ft and 2 Ft and one Diapason(Ft ,I don't remember) and separate volume knob to balance against the overall volume of the Organ and the Upper Manual for the Right Hand had 6 stops indicating Trumpet,Oboe,Violin ,Cello etc. There was a switch for Vibrato. The Pedal Board had 2 Ft Flute and 8 ft flute stops. And when Organist John Collison (Presently Organist on the Pipe Organ in St Mary's Church,Fort St George,Chennai)used to play 'All hail the Power of Jesus' name',the four parts of hymn music used to sound out very clearly. I have never seen such clarity of Four Part Music in any Organ(That is among the simple Electronic Organs such as Reginald,Artronica,Yamaha Electone,etc) through out my life.
It was probably the Manufacturer's (Mr John George)master stroke. And in the 1. 99.
