DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This organ was replaced by a two-manual mechanical-action organ, details currently unknown, visible in photos on the church's Facebook page. The disposition of the Pilcher is unknown, and presumably it was junked or broken up for parts after it failed to sell through the Organ Clearing House in the mid-1990s.
Database Manager on December 31st, 2007:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Originally built for the Episcopal Church in Prattsville, NY where it remained in use until that congregation disbanded. It was a one-manual with no independent Pedal division, just a pedalboard and manual coupler. The organ was then moved to St. Christopher's Episcopal in Cobbleskill, NY at which time a local organ builder named Robert Rowland added an electric blower and the Pedal division. In 1979, it was purchased by Faith Lutheran and moved to the church where it was rebuilt on-site by Fr. John Crum of St. Christopher's in Cobbleskill, NY. It was dedicated Sunday, October 21, 1979 at 7:00 p.m.
