2023-07-14 - from - *The TImes-Picayune* Oct. 23, 1857: A MAMOTH ORGAN- We see it stated in a New York Paper that the superb organ which has been some time in the course of erection by the celebrated Henry Erben, in New York, for the new church on Lafayette Square, in this city (New Orleans), Rev. Dr. Palmer's, has been completed, and that a most successful public exhibition of it took place a few evenings ago, at the manufactory. We find it and the exhibition thus alluded to be in the columns of the Harold: This case, which is thirty feet wide and eighteen feet deep, is of beautiful workmanship, highly ornamented, and in a style to suit the order of the church. The front pips are guilt, and answer the double purpose of ornament and utility. It has three sets of keys, forty-six stops and nearly three thousand pipes, and in every particular is a noble instrument. Every note is clear, beautifully voiced, and the reed stops the best we have ever heard. The pedal stops are most excellent, firm and sonorous in quality, and we are inclined to envy our friends in New Orleans the possession of such a magnificent specemin of art... -Steven Bartley
