2015-12-27 - The organ was a 'slightly used' instrument that came from the Watson Residence in Manhasset, New York. -Database Manager
2019-02-14 - Updated by Andrew Moore, the builder. This organ was a repossessed residence organ that Moller sold to the church at a very deep discount of $4400, $400 of that being for the Harp which was new at that time. There are several components of this organ that I highly suspect may be from the previous organ, which would help explain the very low price. The organ was dedicated by Virgil Fox on December 1, 1938. This organ was rebuilt by Moller in 1971 as R-847 and at that time several tonal changes were made. The Great/Choir Gemshorn was removed and replaced with a Harmonic Trumpet, the Swell had a new chest added to contain the new Mixture III and the Salicional was also moved to that chest. A 4\'-2\' Principal was placed where the Salicional was previously and the Tromba was replaced with a Trompette which unfortunately is not the best match for it\'s 16\' Gottfried Tuba Pedal extension. Hagerstown Organ Co. rebuilt the console and replaced the original relay with Peterson multiplex in 1999 and moved the console into a pit among the Choir seating at that time. From 2017-2018 both chambers were completely re-leathered by Mark Cooley's Organ Co. and Skroppa LLC. At that time the Great/Choir chamber had the layout changed slightly and the original pneumatic Chime action was replaced by a new OSI electric action. No tonal changes were made at this time. -Database Manager
