! The wonderful pipe organ at the
First Presbyterian church has re-
ceived a welcome present from its
donors, Senator and Miss Willard,
h, the shape of tuba stop. This
has. recently been installed at the
church and everyone who has heard
it is more than delighted with the
resultant effect. The tuba is a reed
stop of extremely powerful tone and
brilliancy, and it brings to Inc organ
the one thing which it has lacked
among its mNly varied resources.
1.-THE general public will have an
opportunity of hearing the organ for
the first time with its new addition
on Sunday afternoon, December |,
at O'Clock. when Mrs. Z. X.
Zabriskie, the organist of the
church, will give the first of series
CT recitals to be given this year by
members of the Nebraska chapter
OF the American Guild of Organists.
The tuba stop adds both volume
and brilliancy to the full organ and
is beautiful solo stop as well. In
the language of organists, it is
voiced on heavy wind pressure, the
exact intensity of which is depend
cnt upon the size of the church.
You know a pipe organ is only all
elaborate development of pipes of
varying lengths. shapes and kinds
of material. which work on the
principle of the penny whistle
There is a Stat in the side, and the
sound is made by forcing the air
in through the bottom of the pipe
The deepest toned pedal pipes are
g feet long and many of the high
tones are made by pipes Just about
the size of penny whistle. But it
is an elaborate development. Some
are open pipes, some closed at the
top. some have reeds in the side,
fastened at one or both ends.
The new tuba stop at the First
Presbyterian church consists of a
set Of IS pipes, and affords three
solo stops, which are beautiful alone
aud in combination. The present
day organ, as Lavignac has said,
is not so much an instrument as all
orchestra played BY one player
Mrs. Zabriskie will play many
interesting numbers which will give
opportunity for the use of this new
stop as we'll as the many solo stops
with which the instrument is so well
equipped She is an indefatigable
student, and last summer she went
to New York and spent several
weeks in organ study with Clifford
Demarest, who is not only the war
den of the American Guild of Or
ganists, but also one of the best
known concert organiSts of the
metropolis. At this recital she will
feature a composition by Mr.. Dem
afest, which is sonata for piano
and organ, a most unusual combi-
nation. She will be assisted in this
number by Edith l.. Wagner, plan
list. Mr.. George S. Johnston will
also assist with group OF songs.
Mrs. Zabriskie also plans to give
other recitals from time to time dur
ing the winter.
