Updated through online information from Tom Fayard [October 14, 2025]: I took lessons at this church regularly in college and substituted several times. The instrument described is no longer intact and has been unfortunately replaced by a Rogers 3 manual. I think this was done sometime pre-Covid, but I'm not exactly sure. The facade pipes are still present, but the pipe chamber is empty and has speakers inside it.
Replaced with a 3-manual Rodgers in 2016.

Updated through online information from Jeremy S. Adcock. -- The stop list is the original Aeolian-Skinner stoplist. The organ was releathered within the last 10 years and stop action has been upgraded to SSL. There are 32 levels of memory with 4 general pistons (thumb only) with 4 divisionals for each division, thumb and toe great/pedal reversible, thumb and toe sforzando. Chimes were added with an on/off switch playable from the Great keyboard. The pedal 8' principal is the only independent pedal stop, the others are extensions with gt/pd and sw/pd at 8' & 4'. There are super and sub couplers for sw/sw, sw/gt, and gt/gt. The organ is in an older sanctuary with carpet only in the aisles. With all the hard surfaces, the Sforzando makes this litte 15 rank gem sound like 30+ ranks.
