Construction of the Brombaugh Organ
Join us on a photographic tour of John Brombaugh’s shop
in Eugene, Oregon, as he finished construction of a new organ
for the Memorial Chapel in Duke University Chapel.
The tour begins at the set-up room, where the upper case is displayed,
with its burnished tin front pipes, oak carving, and painted casework.
The organ will stand in a “swallow’s nest”
gallery, shown here, with handwrought iron railing and the under
case.
The upper and under cases are fitted here for the first time;
the gallery is in the background.
A close-up view of the richly polychromed mouldings of the gallery.
The pipes of the Principale are being tied in temporarily prior
to fitting of the pipe shades.
The Trompete is on the voicing machine. Blocks in the foreground
await their turn for assembly.
Pallets are being covered in leather.
John Brombaugh stands in the gallery, where panelling and finish
flooring await installation.
The completed organ components were put together, set up, tested,
and taken down before shipment to Duke University.
