2025-04-11 - The Apse Organ was built by Lewis & Co. in about 1906. The Swell and Great Organs are in separate cases behind the High Altar. The organ was altered by Henry Willis & Sons, who provided a new four-manual Apse console in 1926 to control the complete Apse and Grand Organs. In 1984 the Apse Organ was rebuilt by Harrison & Harrison with some new stops and alterations. See DOCUMENTS tab for specification from builder as well as stoplist here. --information from builder document (2021) -Paul R. Marchesano
