2018-06-12 - Updated by Scot Huntington <br> Around 2012, a Möller wood Contra Bass 16' (pedal) was installed along the side walls of the church on pneumatic chests, and decorated with Victorian stencil work. Circa 2015-2016, the Marklove organ was subsumed into a new 4-manual, nearly 100-stop digital instrument custom-built for the church by the Chase Organ Company. -Database Manager
2018-02-22 - This describes a rebuild of an existing organ. <br>Identified by Scot Huntington<br>The first phase of this work involved installing three new stops in the blank slides left by organbuilder Robert Rowland when the organ was moved here in 1932 (missing: Flute 4', Twelfth 2 2/3', Trumpet 8'). No other changes were made at this time. Circa 1964, the pedal compass was enlarged with an AGO pedalboard, and a small pedal division was added on an electric chest placed on top of the organ. -Database Manager
