Built by: Dobson Pipe Organ Builders (2012) - opus 90


In 2011-2012, the Dobson company built a new large organ for Independant Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama. During the construction, various ranks were taken from the old organ of the church, opus 516/516-A from the Skinner company (1925/1969) and from the old Antiphonal Organ, built by the Möller company (1974). The organ has a three-manual console, from which Choir and Solo are played on the same manual.
