St. Patrick’s Catholic church
The Leslie Smith organ is a brand new 2/14 tracker in the German Baroque style. Originally planned for Guardian Angels Catholic church, the organ has now found the perfect home in the lively but clear acoustics of St. Patrick’s Catholic church. For specs: http://trackerorgan.wordpress.com/specifications/
St. Paul’s
Casavant two-manual organ from the early 1900’s, rebuilt by Casavant in the 1950’s.
Beautiful historic space and instrument.
Also: Sabathil one-manual Harpsichord (8′ and 4′), well-tempered (not equal-tempered).
