Database Manager on February 06, 2014:

This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in Radzinsky, 1910. -- Radzinsky, 1910, writes, "at various times the action has been renovated--the last time in 1907, by Hook & Hastings, of Boston, Mass., but the tone is as Erben left it." However, the NYC Organ Project website records that "In 1901 Hook & Hastings installed a new organ and case in the chancel, reusing some parts from the previous 1864 Hall & Labagh organ," and Lynwood Farnam wrote, "Very poor organ. Wretched reeds." The case is all that remains in the church.
