NEW CONSOLE BUILT FOR CAMBRIDGE, MASS, CHURCH The modernized Hook & Hastings organ at the First Church in Cambridge (Mass) , Congregational, where Homor Whitford is organist and director of of music, has been further improved by a new console embodying the most recent improvements in mechanical control. The cost of the console was met chiefly through a generous gift from Mrs, Harrison F. Lymnan, of Winchester, Mass, in memory of her husband, the remainder coming from the church's organ fund, a permanent project. The console was built to Mr. Whiteford's specification by the Organ Supply Corporation, Erie Pa., and installed by Martin Becker of Waltham, Mass. The whole organ has been rewired and a soundproof room in the basement of the church to house the remote control mechanism for the combination system, The oak case is a beautiful example of the cabinetmaker's art. Dedication of the console is planned for the near future, probably in connection with a morning service.
Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in The Hook Opus List 1829-1935, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991).
