Messiah Lutheran Church, Knoxville TN

The Andover Organ

Messiah is blessed to have one of the best organs in East Tennessee. The organ is a two manual, 25 rank, mechanical action instrument built by the Andover Organ Company of Massachusetts. It was installed in 1982 and dedicated to Sally Nelson who served many years as organist at Messiah. If you look closely at the area above the music desk, in front of the swell, you will see Sally's favorite Bible passage: "Rejoice in the Lord always." The organ was incomplete at the time of the original installation. The swell division and additional pedal stops were added in 1990. John Brock, professor of organ at the University of Tennessee, was organist during this time.
