DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Due to considerable lightning damage to the electrical parts of the Moller (possibly thanks to the 175' steeple), the organ was combined with a 4-manual Allen ca.2017, retaining 81 ranks of the Moller. The sanctuary is notable for its 85' ceiling and many spectacular windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany and the Willet Studios, which was located just a few blocks away at the time of installation.
Database Manager on August 3rd, 2009:
Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Op. 10016 includes the main organ and the chapel organ, which sounds into the transept gallery as the three transept divisions. The main console was moved in 1999 from the gallery to the floor of the nave by the central rostrum. The façade pipes of Skinner Op. 933 remain in the front, although the Skinner was relocated.
Database Manager on November 24th, 2006:
