Per Jeff Harbin on 6-2-2026: The console for the Pilcher organ was built in 1957 by Austin and was recently rebuilt by A. E. Schlueter. The gallery console, which has controls for both the Pilcher and Ruffatti organs, was built by Guzowski and Steppe ca. 1991.

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
Austin console installed in 1957. [Stops & ranks shown are from Pilcher ledger.] Rebuilt in 1991 by Guzowski & Steppe. [C. Johnson gives size as 47st 35r.] The church also has a 1975 4m 57rk Ruffatti, (additions & revoicing 1991) in a rear gallery. The new console (1991) for this organ can also play the Pilcher. But the Pilcher has its own console (which is just 3 manuals). There have been a few additions (no deletions) on the Pilcher (notably a Festival Trumpet which is inside the case and not a horizontal reed). [Nelson shows as 38r, 50st.]
