There is now a blank unused toeboard on the original enclosed chest, previously occupied by the tenor-c Viole Celeste. The new 4' Principal pipes give the appearance of being made from a cut-down string. The new unenclosed Diapason chest utilizes electo-mechanical magnet action.

Scot Huntington on October 23rd, 2021:
This meager unit organ replaced a grand and historic E. & G.G. Hook rebuilt by Steer & Turner that was easily four times its size. A terrible waste. The Moller as originally built had 5 ranks, all enclosed. The work by the Chase company respecified the organ with the addition of another rank of pipes. The 1948 Moller Diapason was moved to a new unenclosed unit chest, and a brightly-voiced Principal 4' took its place on the enclosed chest, and the specification was modified with unified upperwork derived from the new Principal. Although there has been talk in recent years of reactivating the currently mute historic facade pipes, that has yet to take place. The historic Hook case as moved here by Steer & Turner was reduced in depth by Moller, but its historic oak faux graining is untouched as are the gilded zinc facade pipes, likely dating from Steere as the original Hook facade pipes would have been gilded common metal.
