Paul R. Marchesano on April 26, 2022:

The original 1911, 9-rank organ was a mechallical action instrument built by the Hinners organ Company of Pekin, Illinois. The replacement instrument was also built by Hinners but is a much larger instrument built in 1904. The original 1911 facade was retained with the pipes repainted in the original style and designs. The pneumatic assist action of the 1904 instrument has made the much larger instrument much easier to play and is very reliable in this stable climate. -- builder ad, 2003 OHS Handbook

1904 Hinners (from where?) placed behind the facade of the church's original 9r 1911 Hinners tracker organ. The 1904 instrument has a pneumatic assist action.
