This is a modest two-manual and pedal instrument of 14 ranks encased in the rear gallery with the Great division in the upper portion and the enclosed Swell just below at about head level for standing choir singers. This is all controlled from a detached stop-key console in the gallery. In recent years, Michael Hart (Di Gennaro-Hart Organ Co.) has re-voiced much of the flue-work, and the sound of the instrument is quite satisfactory. A couple of mutation ranks and a pretty Krummhorn add some fun colors to the basic sounds. (written by Carl Schwartz, Hillbus Chapter of The Organ Historical Society)
