1904 Geo. Kilgen & Son organ
(Stoplist: Lenore Horner on PIPORG-L, 11 July 1996)

This organ was previously at St. Vincent's Hospital, Normandy (St. Louis), MO.
It was moved to its current location, a loft built at the back of the church
specifically to hold the organ, and altered in 1978 by Louis IX Associates,
Inc. I am not entirely sure what alterations were made, but this is what I
understand happened: the flat pedalboard was replaced with a radial, curved one
and the pedal stop (but not the couplers) extended at the top by 2 notes to
conform to the new pedalboard; some pipes were mitered (twice I think) to fit
under the roof of the church; one or more stops were cut down; the trumpet stop
was replaced.

William Memmott (Louis IX Associates) had replaced an original Oboe with a
Trompette. More recently, Quimby has reversed the change, replacing the trumpet
with an oboe at the same pitch (stop label unchanged), a change with which
everyone seems to be very happy.

The console is attached and reversed.
