2005-02-28 - Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in <i>The Hook Opus List 1829-1935</i>, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991). -Database Manager
2014-03-25 - Updated through information from the church's web site: -- Electrification and enlargement of the church's existing organ, 1880 Hook & Hastings Opus 1012. -Database Manager
2020-12-07 - According to the church's website - on the ***About the Pipe Organ*** page, *"In 1929, Hook and Hastings was contracted to rebuild and enlarge the organ, adding the pedal organ (played with the feet) and the choir division. The organ was also changed from tracker action to electric action. A new three manual console was also added. A new electric wind turbine was installed which is still in service today. Hook and Hastings ledger book lists the addition to Broadway’s organ as opus #2571, bringing the organ up to 1,306 pipes."*
The center portion of the case is the original 1880 E. & G.G. Hook & Hastings case. -Jim Stettner
