Identified through on-line information from Eric J. Gastier. -- This instrument has two consoles. The case console is a rebuilding of the 1929 Hill, Norman & Beard console. The new Schantz console is movable and is located at main hall floor level. All stops are available both consoles. Reconstruction and relocation of the Echo organ has been prepared for in the main organ chambers. Roughly 2/3 of the organ's pipework, the facade and grilles, and the case console are from the 1929 Hill, Norman & Beard organ,
