2020-12-10 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: The first known organ for the Greenpoint Reformed Church was built in 1869 by E. & G.G. Hook of Boston. The specifications that follow were recorded by Louis F. Mohr & Co., an organ service firm in the area. Mohr's undated handwritten record states that the organ had tracker action, a Kinetic blower, and that the "Organ could stand a cleaning." Although Mohr did not include manual and pedal compasses, the suggested pipecounts below are based on E. &. G.G. Hook organs of the era. -Jeff Scofield
