This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location

Scot Huntington on May 5th, 2021:

The PIlcher case is extant, but the organ is long gone, replaced first by a Pfeffer, and later by a diminutive Kilgen unit organ still extant behind the imposing facade. The organ had a very early example of a 32' Bourdon, perhaps the first in the United States to be installed in a two-manual organ. The identity of the organ, long anonymous, came to light by an examination of the Pilcher office records by Robert Coleberd in 1971.
