Organ:
    The organ at St. Luke’s is a very fine example of a digital organ, generously donated by Jimmy Johnson. The console was built by R.A. Colby and the electronics were built and recently upgraded by Walker Technical. Unlike a pipe organ, a digital organ does not use pipes to produce sound (the pipes you see are decorative), but rather digitally sampled recordings of actual pipes from various pipe organs. A few of the stops on our organ were actually sampled from some famous and historic pipe organs. Our organ sounds particularly convincing because of the high quality of the digital samples, the high quality of the speakers, and recent innovations in technology that make digital organs sounds more like pipe organs than ever.
