Scot Huntington on January 3rd, 2024:

This is second-hand information that I have not been able to confirm as to the date or party responsible for the move. This organ was originally built for the Canisteo, N.Y. Presbyterian church, which still retains the case to hide the speakers of the imitation instrument which replaced it. It may have been moved as early as the mid-90s. In the original location, The Great and Swell stacked were at the right front, in an extremely cramped, free-standing installation. The Echo was in a closet chamber at the second-floor rear. It is not known who moved the organ, whether amateurs or professionals, whether the organ was altered at the new location, received any badly-needed restorative repairs, or even whether it was installed intact including the Echo. The black tape on a disturbing number of stop tabs is indicative of amateur work and suggests that a large swath of Great and Pedal stops are either missing, inoperative, or replaced with something else. The organ is installed in two chambers speaking into the ceiling of the chancel in this over-carpeted and acoustically dead sanctuary. It is not known what the Moller replaced at this location.

wedding in 2002!
