Database Manager on January 20th, 2009:

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- In an e-mail dated 1/19/09, Wicks Service Manager William F. Bust indicated, "Op. 3170 was the result of a rebuilding of an earlier Wicks organ of which there seems to be no record." This earlier organ was evidently a 2-manual instrument, and most of the ranks were incorporated into the "new" 19-rank Opus 3170. The contract was signed in January of 1951. In 1974, the organ was replaced by Wicks Opus 5434 - installed at the front of the church. In 1975, Opus 3170 was sold to First Church of Christ, Scientist in Englewood, NJ - minus the 8' Salicional and Voix Celeste which were retained for Opus 5434.
