Scot Huntington on January 18th, 2023:

The accompanying photo shows the dramatic floor to ceiling window behind the organ has been covered up, likely to conserve heat or to improve the organ's tuning stability, or both. A study of the photo shows several zinc facade pipes have begun to collapse or have been damaged by being squeezed at the center racking point, forcing the pipes to ovalize and the top portion to begin leaning and distorting the pipe.

This is a rebuild of an existing organ.
Identified by John Igoe, using information from this web site: http://holyghostlcms.org/index.php?chsc=ch&op=organ.
-- Delaware incorporated 10 rank Schlicker organ into this instrument. In 2006 church purchased the organ of Calvary Lutheran Church (probably Buffalo); 18 ranks of Calvary's organ were to be incorporated into this instrument. In 2013 Heritage Pipe Organ (successor to Rothenbueger & Ploetz) built a moveable organ console and Peterson electronic control system.
