G. Barley Memorial Organ
Memorial Coliseum
Marion, IN
(played by Dr. Fred
B. Binckes, FAGO)
(Note: The renovation
of the Barley Memorial Organ, Estey Opus 2727, was my
first project, done over thirty years ago, while I was
a student at Ball State University. Since that
time, the organ has remained playable until recently.
Presently, the building is under renovation, slated
to become the Marion Family YMCA. The organ
is to be disconnected and stored in the building until
funding can be found to completely rebuild it.
Although we did not create its sound, it is an impressive
instrument, worth preserving, and we share some of Fred
Binckes' 1976 recital here, in honor of this fine municipal
pipe organ.)

The Old Centrum
Central Avenue Methodist Church
Indianapolis, IN
(played by Dr.
Charles Manning)
(Note: The
Central Avenue organ was built in 1892 by a fine,
but nearly forgotten Indianapolis organ builder,
Thomas Prentiss Sanborn. The organ had not
been playable for over a decade, and had been in
deteriorating condition for many years before that.
Reynolds Associates "resuscitated" this magnificent
II manual, 33 rank instrument so it could be heard
in the 2007 national convention of the Organ
Historical Society, which was held in Indianapolis.
These recordings, made live during the convention's
visit to this historic organ, reveal a masterpiece
of nineteenth century organ building, which will
hopefully be restored and preserved for the future.
At the time of these recordings, the organ was still
in unrestored condition, and is heard here "warts
and all." Our thanks to Dr. Manning for his
musicianship and his courage.)
