Received anonymously: -- Austin Opus 1040 was dedicated on the Feast of All Saints, 1922; it was a III/34 organ. The instrument was rebuilt in 1989 by Crosson and Savage, Cedars, PA., who replaced the 1922 Great principals and Major Flute with principals, flutes, III-rank mixture, and the 3-manual console from Austin Opus 2603, 1976 - formerly in the First and Central Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware. All other Austin 1040 pipework including some of the beautiful strings and all of the colorful reeds were retained and are in use today.
