2018-07-05 - By the 1950s, the 1902 Hutchings organ was no longer adequate or reliable. Robert Arnold, associate organist of Trinity Church in Manhattan, was engaged as consultant and plans were made for the purchase of an organ. Mr. Arnold analyzed the old organ and decided that 19 of the original 32 ranks could, with expert treatment, be used in a new instrument. The Estey Organ Company was chosen to rebuild the organ because its staff at the time was headed by George Steinmeyer, the son of the noted organbuilder of Germany.<br> <br> On the rebuilt organ, the Great division and pedal reed were exposed on the west gallery, freeing up space for two enclosed divisions in the chancel. Estey provided a luminous drawknob console that was located in the chancel. -Database Manager
