The four-manual pipe organ at Second Congregational/First Presbyterian Church in Rockford, IL, was completed in 1989. It has 68 ranks of pipes, and a grand total of 4215 pipes in all. The pipes range in size from the low C of the Pedal Diapason (which is 32 feet long and produces a pitch so deep that it is actually “felt” rather than heard) to the tiny mixture pipes, many of which are no larger than an ordinary lead pencil. About half of the ranks of pipes came from a 1918 Ernest M. Skinner organ (opus 274) previously installed at First Congregational (now First United) Church in Oak Park, IL. Other pipe work, along with the console and various other components, were built by the Wicks Organ Company of Highland, IL. Installation and tonal finishing were done by Troy Scott and Madison Lindsey of Pipe Organ Specialties, Laurel, MS.
