Orff and other Percussion Instruments

A number of unpitched instruments complete the collection. St Paul has a
wonderful collection of African drums. Children' Choirs are exposed to a number of multi-cultural musical experiences using these instruments.
Harpsichord
The church harpsichord was built by Zuckermann in the early 1980s. It is a single-manual,
Flemish with three choirs ~ 2 at 8-foot pitch, 4-foot pitch as well as a buff stop. It was given in memory of Georgia Lee Bynum, a long-time church organist of St. Paul and her daughter, Annie Lee Bynum Rand.
Sanctuary Organ
The organ is a custom Allen Digital Computer® installed during the 1982 renovation. The organ is a 3-manual instrument with Antiphonal speakers located in the balcony. A Cymbelstern was added to the organ through a gift in memory of Ed Smith, a long-time choir member by his wife Becky.

of Malmark Handbells,
