Daniel Hancock. -- The "Historical Papers and Addresses of the Lancaster County Historical Society,� published by the Lancaster County Historical Society (Pa), 1917, report "Trinity Lutheran Church, at Lancaster, still has in service one of Tannenberg's organs. I do not know the year it was put there, but John Ambury, a British prisoner at Lancaster, in 1778, says in his narrative as follows, of this organ: 'Largest pipe organ in America, now in use in the Lancaster Church. Some of the officers went to hear this wonderful piece of mechanism and sent descriptions of it to their homes. The manufacturer had made every part of it with his own hands. It had not only every pipe and stop, but had some pipes of amazing circumference, and had keys to be played by the feet in addition to the regular stops." -Database Manager
