Notes

2020-11-08 - The organ in the Church of the Epiphany was built by A. Gottfried & Co. of Erie, Penn. A plaque on the console states the organ was dedicated in 1929, but an opus number has not been found. All of the pipes are enclosed in one chamber on the right side of the chancel, although there are identical façades of non-speaking pipes on either side. The setterboards for the combinations are in two drawers beneath the Great manual. At some point, electronic carillonic bells were added, playable from a 25-note keyboard attached to the console. This organ was playable in 2010 and has received a partial cleaning and limited repairs by John Klauder Pipe Organ Service of Brooklyn. -Jeff Scofield
