2008-09-17 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the electrification of the church's existing 1894 Hook & Hastings (Opus 1615). The original chests were retained and fitted with E-P pulldowns. The Great 8' Trumpet was removed in favor of a tenor c 8' Unda Maris - which was never added. The Swell 16' Bourdon was removed from the swellbox to make room for the chimes to hang inside, and also so it could be placed on a unit chest to be borrowed to the Pedal as well. The Swell tenor c 8' Voix Celeste may be the original 4' Violina. Source: extant organ documented April 21, 1989. -Database Manager
2019-06-22 - Updated by Doug Ulwick, who has heard or played the organ.<br> The instrument is still there as of 2017. The keydesk was removed from the face of the instrument and replaced by a freestanding console with the Rostron Kershaw rebuild. Initially the console was simply moved forward, just behind an altar screen. At some point it was rotated 90 degrees and moved to the right (as one faces the altar). -Database Manager
