DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: The organ in St. Paul & St. Andrew's Church is the work of William W. Laws of Beverly, Mass., who was contracted to reconfigure the previous 1895 organ by J.H. & C.S. Odell when the front of the sanctuary was reconfigured to accomodate a divided chancel. Laws rebuilt the 1895 Odell organ by converting its action to electro-pneumatic and providing a new three-manual stop-key console. Many of the original stops were retained, several more were added, and the Choir division was enclosed. In 2007, the organ was found to be partially playable.
