United States Naval Academy Organ
Annapolis, Maryland
The Naval Academy Chapel organ dates back to 1908. The Hutchins Organ Company of Boston, MA built the original instrument. In 1940, the Möller Organ Company of Hagerstown, MD was contracted to build a larger instrument. The current instrument, comprised of both pipe and digital voices, totals 268 ranks and is controlled by two consoles.
The chancel’s new five-manual console, crafted by R. A. Colby, Inc. of Johnson City, TN, boasts 522 draw knobs, and in addition to the other controls available to the organist, yields 796 total controls operated via computer control systems and the digital pipe reproduction voices all furnished by Walker Technical Company of Zionsville, PA.
