Paul R. Marchesano on January 26th, 2023:
On September 20, 1992, a new organ was dedicated in a rear gallery of the Cathedral with two identical recitals by Peter Hurford. The three-manual, fifty-rank organ of mechanical key and stop action was built by Taylor & Boody Organbuilders of Staunton, Virginia, as its opus 19. Manual compass is fifty-six notes (CC-g3); pedal compass is thirty notes (CC-fl). The temperament is after Kellner (Bach). The metal pipes are of hammered lead-tin alloys. The fapde pipes are of 98 percent lead; interior pipes are of 28 percent tin alloy. The case and the supporting gallery, specially designed for the organ, are of solid white oak. There are 2,454 speaking pipes (and 46 dummies). While the Wolff organ is built in an English/French style, the gallery organ represents the Northern European tradition. Wind is supplied by three bellows mounted in a rack in the tower. Wind may be raised by electric blower or by foot power. -- *2007 OHS Atlas*
