2020-05-25 - This was a specification proposed by M.P. Moller for the Riverside Church. It would have retained a significant number of stops from the previous Hook and Hastings organ. Ultimately, Riverside decided to commission Aeolian-Skinner to carry out the construction of a new organ for the church. -Owen Lenzmeier
