Hi
I'm new to the forum and have been enjoying exploring it. I'm looking for a 2 rank, one manual with pedal Wicks organ. It is my understanding there were a number of them made somewhere around the 1970's for startup Lutheran congregations. They have a split keyboard so you could solo and accompany on the one manual. The pipes sit above the manual in a compact design (exposed), and I'm assuming the blower is self-contained. There is one in a church close by that has the pedal extended to 16'--the original design has the pedal coupled to the keyboard at 8'. I'm in Portland, OR and would appreciate any information you can provide, both about locating one for purchase and about the background of instrument itself.
