Updated through online information from Robert Zanca [October 26, 2025]: The expression mechanism consists of horizontal lovers operated by mechanical linkage to the pedal.

Database Manager on April 30th, 2012:

Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield: The organ is now at St. Anna's Episcopal Church, also in New Orleans, and and continues to be used in that church.

Database Manager on February 1st, 2011:

According to OUSCDB records, two Moller organs were supplied to Gentilly Presbyterian Church. The first organ, which was identified as Moller Opus 6440 (1937) was later sold to Holy Comforter Church when it was located on Mirabeau near Elysian Fields. When Holy Comforter closed and re-opened as a chapel on the UNO campus, Opus 6440 went to St. Anna's Episcopal Church on Esplanade Avenue.

The Second Moller organ, Opus 9224 (ca. 1958), a 2 manual 34 stop organ which replaced Opus 6440, is believed to have been in the building as late as 2005, prior to Hurricane Katrina, and it may still be at that location.

Database Manager on February 21st, 2008:

This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. 'Portable'
