2019-12-17 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: In 1976, the gallery organ was extensively rebuilt by Robert M. Turner of Hacienda Heights, Calif. Turner retained the 1903 Skinner organ case and reworked many pipes from Ernest M. Skinner's organs of 1903 and 1929, and Aeolian-Skinner's work done in 1951 and 1962. The organ was also revoiced to play on a lower wind pressure. Turner provided all new playing action, new principal choruses and reeds, an independent pedal division, and a new movable drawknob console. By the late 2000s, the organ had deteriorated to the point that another rebuilding was necessary. Ultimately, the church decided to replace the organ with a second-hand instrument by Paul Fritts. -Database Manager
