2017-05-04 - Updated by Jim Thompson<br> In August 2016, extremely heavy rains flooded Scheide Hall (as it is at a lower elevation than the rest of the basement practice areas of the residence halls), severely damaging the organ and introducing mold into the organ and hall. It was removed by Dieffenbach Organs (formerly Emery Bros) (Westminster's Organ Curators) and is being repaired and is scheduled to be reinstalled in late spring 2017. -Database Manager
2020-09-21 - Relocated to Gill Chapel on the campus of Rider College, Lawrenceville New Jersey. Received new movable English drawknob console, 16' Principal and 16' Posaune Pedal additions (32 pipes each), and new electric slider motor actions. Casework modified to reflect new location. No other work performed. Patrick J. Murphy & Associates Organbuilders- Stowe Pennsylvania. -Patrick Murphy
2024-07-15 - Updated through online information from Anthony Celentano (July 10, 2024): With the relocation of Westminster Choir College to the Lawrenceville campus of Rider University this organ was relocated to Gill Chapel where it is installed across the front of the chapel. A 16' Prinzipal in the Pedal, always planned for but for which there was no room in the original installation, has been added, as has a Pedal 16' Posaune, full length resonators. A new moveable console was built and can be plugged into five locations in the chapel. All work was done by Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania. -Jim Stettner
