Pipe Organ Database

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.

Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in The Hook Opus List 1829-1935, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991).
