DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
24-rank Antiphonal added in 1985, which became inoperative in 1999 due to a water leak; 1982 Austin console from First Presbyterian, Philadelphia, purchased and renovated to replace the 1963 console and the Antiphonal repairs were completed.
Database Manager on March 17th, 2009:
Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- This was a console-only job to play the gallery organ (1927 Austin 4/57 Op. 1445) and the new Möller transept organ, Op. 8590; console replaced by Austin in 1982. The front organ is divided between the two transepts; the gallery organ is behind a case. One pedal stop is from a 1920s Skinner.
