A NEW TRACKER ORGAN FOR THE
CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA

The city of Rocky Mount is 70 miles east of Durham, North Carolina. The church of the Good Shepherd, a neo-gothic building with seats for 250, dates from the late nineteenth century. The organ is in a chamber on the north side of the chancel, with the Great Organ projecting forward. The casework is painted and patterned to match the panelling in the church. The lower panels of oak are stained and polished to match the choir stalls, and the reversed console stands in front.
