This is why it was important to lay the new hardwood floor before the installation of the organ. Work began with the assembly of the framework and case which hold the organ pipes. Next the blower, wind chests, and organ console were put into place. Then the mechanical trackers were installed. The trackers are long, wooden strips which connect the console's keys and stops to the valves which direct the air through the organ pipes.
Tracker action is much more responsive than an electronically-actuated system.
The first stop, called the Montre or Principal Chorus, was heard in September. For the next few months, several new ranks were added each week, until the final stops were completed January 30, 2000. A total of 52 different distinct voices are constructed in a wide variety of woods and metals. The organ was dedicated during the April 30 service. On May 6 and 7, Peter Planyavsky from St. Stephan's Cathedral in Vienna performed to a full house each performance.
