The room question behind Opus 39
For Opus 39, the geographic anchor is Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Atlanta, Georgia. The church setting gives the Atlanta project a clear institutional frame, yet it cannot stand in for evidence about liturgy, repertoire, access, or sound. Unless a recital, hymn event, placement, or acoustic observation appears in the Atlanta project history, those details should remain unstated.
Reading the numerical outline for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer: Opus 39
A total of 4 stops and 4 ranks is attached to Opus 39. For the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer project in Atlanta, Georgia, the first figure belongs to the console controls and the second to sets of pipes, so the numbers should not be treated as synonyms. Opus 39 has equal listed counts for stops and ranks. The equality alone cannot identify borrowed pipes or a stop made from several rows. At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Atlanta, Georgia, they provide a useful scale marker while leaving voicing, wind pressure, pipe count, and division layout unresolved.
Touch, control, and the missing technical detail: Opus 39
For Opus 39 at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, the action is recorded as mechanical. In the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer account from Atlanta, Georgia, that tells us how the key command began its journey to a pipe valve; it does not tell us how the stops operated, how the console sat in the room, or how the mechanism has aged. Within the documented Atlanta chapter, historic action type and current playing condition are not the same claim.
At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Opus 39 is described as a continuo organ. For the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer project in Atlanta, Georgia, that says more about scale and accompanying purpose than about the case hardware. In the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer account from Atlanta, Georgia, a continuo can be movable, but this page does not assume wheels, handles, divided stops, or transposition without a specific sentence in the historical account.
What the project facts suggest, cautiously: Opus 39

What happened after the organ was built: Opus 39

The Regal could be exchanged with a Quinte, while pipes were fastened to reduce movement in transit. No recital, named performer, consultant, or later ownership history appears; the source concentrates on an adaptable instrument designed for travel between different performance venues.
