Schlicker Organ Company was at the front of the neo-
baroque revival of building organs in the German tradition,
based on a strong principal chorus and with a clear-speaking
tone. This organ offers some lovely solo sounds and a strong
full chorus with reeds. It works well in accompanying
strong congregational singing, in expressive choral
accompaniment, and in interpretive playing of a wide range
of the organ literature, but in particular German Baroque music.
The organ was contained in two chambers, the
Positiv in one small chamber, and the Great, Swell (under
expression) and Pedal divisions in the larger chamber. Maintenance over the life of the organ was very good, and the pipes were in excellent condition. However, the console and other mechanisms of the organ began to give way several years ago.
The Schlicker organ has found a new home at First Lutheran Church in Montclair, New Jersey.
