Jeff Scofield on November 9th, 2021:

From the December 1971 issue of THE DIAPASON: The United Methodist Church of Leonia, new Jersey, has contracted with Allan J. Ontko. organbuilder of Englewood, NJ., for the complete rebuilding and enlargement of the present 3-manual organ. The original instrument was built in 1919 and a new console was installed in 1961 when the church was rebuilt. Some of the old universal windchests will be utilized in the rebuilding of the swell and pedal divisions. and
also in the choir division with vacuum exhaust in order to allow the use of low wind pressure. The great division will be cantilevered from the front wall of the chancel on both sides of the organ grille. Completion of the instrument is scheduled for mid·October of this year.
