Juget-Sinclair Organbuilders has recently completed work on two organs for Florida State University in Tallahassee. Opus 44 is a continuo instrument with Bourdon 8′, Flûte à Cheminée 4′, Doublette 2′, and Quinte 11⁄3′. Opus 43 is a two-manual practice instrument with Montre 8′ and Flûte 4′ on the first manual and Flûte à Cheminée 8′ and Flûte 4′ (borrowed from Man I) on the second. There is a Soubasse 16′ in the pedal, tremulant and couplers, including a super coupler from Man I to Pedal. The studio housing this instrument was renovated to improve room acoustics by removing carpeting and installing a new floor. The practice organ is dedicated to Michael Corzine in honor of his career as Professor of Organ at the FSU College of Music. Both instruments were installed and voiced on site in January 2014.
At the Juget-Sinclair shop, work continues on Opus 42, a three-manual, 58-stop French symphonic organ for Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas, Texas. Installation is scheduled in two phases: installation of Récit, Positif, and 32′ Bourdon and Bombarde in June 2014, and final installation of Grand Orgue, remainder of the Pédale, main case, façade, and voicing this fall.
