Notes

2008-12-24 - Identified through information published in John Ferguson's *Walter Holtkamp: American Organ Builder(*) (DMA treatise, Eastman School of Music, 1976). Although neither Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling nor their successor Holtkamp Organ Co. assigned Opus numbers to their instruments, this organ was identified in factory documents as Job number 1721. That number appears here as the Opus number of this instrument. -Database Manager

2011-11-20 - Updated through online information from Tom Scheck. -- The bottom octave of the Swell 8' Oboe was replaced by Chester A. Raymond when the organ was relatively new. The original Holtkamp pipes are stored inside the organ. -- The Positiv manual has 61 keys, but the chest has only 56 notes. Notes 57-61 play only Swell stops coupled to the Positiv. -Database Manager

2014-11-21 - Updated through online information from Gregg Patruno. -- First Presbyterian Church was renamed Nassau Presbyterian Church in 1973 after a merger. -Database Manager

2015-10-05 - According to Bryan Mitnaul, the organ was rebuilt in 1986 and an 8' Trompette was added to the Swell and a 16' Principal (Haskell) to the Pedal. -Database Manager
