Builder: Joseph Rulli
Year: 1982, 1992
Location: St. Michael Catholic Church, St. Michael, PA
Remarks:  I built this instrument throughout my junior and senior years in college.  The 1982 division mounted over the altar consists of 7 ranks.   I added three ranks in 1992 as an antiphonal division which is located in the balcony opposite the main division.   In both instances, since the church is my home parish, I donated all of the labor with the parish paying only for materials. The facade pipes, consisting of the Principal 8 and Octave 4',  were purchased new as was the 16' Trumpet which is located behind the grille along with a 1800's vintage Hook and Hastings Flute, a Viola,  Celeste , and 16' Pedal Bourdon.  The antiphonal is comprised of an open wood Flute, a Dulciana, and Celeste.  In March of 2001 I added an 8 bell Zimbelstern along with a Rotating Star which is mounted through the low "C" facade pipe. In January of 2002, I added an oak platform for under the console.
