2015-04-18 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Scot Huntington, based on information learned from a conversation with Robert Barney. -- A new, tubular-pneumatic instrument installed in the rear gallery of this historic 1859 gothic frame structure. What became of the previous E. & G.G. Hook organ is unknown. The Midmer organ was electrified in the 1950s, according to a church member's memory by "someone from Yonkers," and replaced in 1972 with M.P. Moeller, Op. 10818, a double Artiste unit organ, reusing the Midmer case. Except for the case and façade pipes, the organ was dismantled and taken to the landfill by churchmen. Shortly before its removal, O.H.S. member Robert Barney, then a high-school student, made a tape-recorded document of the organ, dictating its console stoplist and recording each stop individually. -Database Manager
