 Phoenix
Organs are delighted to have been chosen to build a new digital
organ for Lichfield Cathedral which will be used alongside the great
Hill organ recently restored by Harrison and Harrison.
The Phoenix Organ will have three
manuals and pedals with a fine draw-stop console. The console
will be mounted on a moveable platform to enable the instrument to
be used in different parts of the Cathedral and three independent
speaker installations will be installed at the West End, in the nave
and in the Lady Chapel to facilitate this.
The organ will have a comprehensive
range of registration aids including "ventil" pistons and a stop
sequencer. The instrument will have English, French and German
voices and a switch on the console will allow the player to select
which specification is active. When the French specification
is selected the Great Organ will be played from the lowest manual
and the Choir from the middle manual; the piston settings will
follow their division.
The organ will also have a Pedal
Divide feature to enable a solo voice and accompaniment below to be
played on the Pedals. (When the Pedal Divide is selected, the
Pedal stops only play below the divide point, and only manual
divisions coupled to the pedal will play from the divide point and
above.)
Installation is expected to be
completed in March 2007.
