2019-07-08 - According to a June 26, 2019 email from Cathedral organist Donald Fellows [edited], "The small Moller organ in the Cathedral chapel/basement was damaged beyond repair as a result of flood damage. When I arrived at the cathedral in 1999, the chapel organ was already unplayable. The ongoing and repeating problem of water in the lower cathedral has been resolved but not before that instrument was damaged. I approved of the removal of the Moller by Allegheny Organ. We salvaged/retained the minimally damaged console and blower for another project." The Moller console, blower, and relay were used to repair the water-damaged 1936, 2-5 Wicks in Synod Hall. -Database Manager
