Region:Lorain County

Description nr.: 2006100.
Built by: C.B. Fisk Inc. (2001) - opus 116
In 2001 Fisk completed a three manual organ for Oberlin University. It is built in the style of French Romanticism. No copy has been made of a particular organ, but an attempt has been made to design an organ in the spirit of the work of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. Consultants were David Boe and Haskell Thomson. The organ is placed behind the front of the 1915 Skinner organ that previously stood in the chapel. This front was designed by Cass Gilbert, also the architect who designed the chapel itself. The front has been expanded in style by Fisk. The organ was put into use on September 28, 2001.
