  • Raising the Raisin Organ by Susan Ferre February 2006
    Raising the Raisin Organ by Susan Ferré – February 2006 The Legend The Raisin organ was purchased from a Mrs. Fred Sandhop for $25 in 1958 by Rubin S. Frels, who found the old organ at the top of the stairs of what had been a stagecoach inn in the small burg of Raisin, population 50, near Victoria, Texas. Its pipes lay smashed, crushed in the bottom of the fauxbois case. Light from a nearby window had faded portions of the fake wood finish, and the damp South Texas attic environment had ravished its metal pipes, the bellows and wood. It had arrived in Texas in the 1850¹s with a Lutheran pastor from Switzerland, and had served the Trinity Lutheran Church of Victoria from the 1850¹s until 1884 when it was replaced by William Schuelke¹s Opus 33 and put in storage . It appears to have been, and may still be, the oldest extant organ to have served the early German pioneers of Texas. Housed in this stone way- station near Raisin, located between historic Goliad and thriving Victoria eight miles to the north, mud-daubers, rats and mice quietly ate away at the organ for almost 75 years before it was rescued and restored by Rubin Frels. The work was carried out by Susan Tattershall in 1980, due in large part to the urging and with the help of our dearly departed Ted W. Blankenship, Jr., then an employee in the Frels shop. The organ was purchased in 1991 by Charles Lang and the author, again with the urging of Ted Blankenship, who helped move it from Rubin Frels¹ living room to a home in Garland, near Dallas.

  • Organs: Technology and Technique for LDS Organists
    Understanding and Mastering Pipe (and Electric) Organs: Technology and Technique for LDS Organists by Irvin T. Nelson Copyright 2001, 2006, 2009 by Irvin T. Nelson 225 N. 100 E., Smithfield, UT 84335 Making unaltered copies for non-commercial use is permitted. All other rights reserved. This and other materials may be downloaded free at: www.irvnelsonmusic.com Draft 2.1; January 1, 2009 Preface The pipe organ is the fundamental musical instrument of the Church. No other instrument can even begin to match its utility and power for accompanying the Hymns of the Restoration. A well-played organ enables and assists the Spirit in touching the hearts of the Saints. There is a shortage of qualified, trained organists in the Church, and this scarcity appears to be growing. Nearly all LDS chapels have organs, many of which are of reasonably good quality, and a precious few of which are real pipe organs. However, in many wards, there are few or no qualified organists who have been trained to get the most out of these marvelous instruments. It is a tragic waste when a very expensive pipe organ is underutilized simply because the organist doesn’t know what the buttons, levers, and knobs do, and how to get a good sound for a particular hymn. Similarly, the electric organ, which is a fine instrument in its own right, is often underutilized for the same reason. This manuscript is written for pianists who want to learn the organ. Without information and training, even excellent pianists are sometimes poor organists. This is not due to a lack of talent, but simply because of the following three factors: 1.
