M. P. Möller
Opus 6685, 1938

Extant interoffice correspondence of the M.P. Möller firm refers to the signed contract (June 23, 1938) between Möller and Covenant Lutheran Church of Ridgewood, Brooklyn. Albert E. Whitham, the area Möller representative, wrote that the church had "a fellow named Arthur Hayn acting as their advisor to a certain degree," and "the chest for the Octave was put in instead of paying a small commission to Mr. Hayn." (The Great 4' Octave was typically borrowed from the Swell 8' Diapason on many Möller organs of this size.) Möller retained the existing pipes, said to be in perfect condition, except for two or three extra stops, and the existing case, grille and display pipes. A new detached two-manual console of quartered oak was provided. A Möller record shows that the organ cost $3,470 and was to be completed by September 25, 1938; it was shipped on September 14, 1938.

The specification is taken from the Möller stop engraving order form and the console photo. Pipecounts are suggested, based on similar Möller organs of the era.
