2017-05-07 - After six decades of service, the 1898 Müller & Abel organ was rebuilt by Ernest A. Lucas, Jr., of Belmore, N.Y. Lucas installed electro-pneumatic key action, a pneumatic console, and a new winding system. No tonal changes were made at this time, but the Great-Choir expression box was modified so that only the Choir stops were enclosed.<br> <br> In 1969, the organ was altered with the redistribution of some original ranks, and new chests were provided by the Delaware Organ Company. In 1970, some thought was given to adding a second console near the sanctuary; instead an Allen Organ Company electronic instrument was purchased. Further work on the organ has been undertaken by Stanton Dougherty, organ curator. -Database Manager
