Carillon Bagpipe Voice
The church's
Schulmerich Generation 4 Novabell Carillon now has a bagpipe voice. A new
company innovation this is one of the first institutions in the
country to have this upgrade as reported in the
Norwin Star.
An early December 2006 Christmas gift was made possible by some church members
including Dan Brentzel who provided the monies to include the bagpipe voice in
the repertoire of the digital carillon system in memory of his wife Debbie
Brentzel and her mother, DeDe Anderson. The initial system was made possible by a number of congregant
families paying tribute to their deceased family members last year at
Thanksgiving.
