2014-06-20 - This entry describes alterations to an existing relocated organ. Identified by Bruce Cornely, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- I was organist-choirmaster at Christ Church when the organ was installed. The original instrument was in a New Orleans funeral home. I do not know the original stoplist but several ranks were used in the rebuild. [There's a high probability that the organ was Möller 5903, the only Möller that appears to have been originally installed in a New Orleans Mortuary. -- Ed.] -Database Manager
