PIPE ORGAN HISTORY


Originally a 1907 Hutchings & Votey (Boston) instrument, the organ has had substantial rebuilding by Spencer (1962) and Austin (1981).
Most recently, Kerner and Merchant (2001) of East Syracuse rebuilt the organ, which included a major restoration of existing components, tonal improvements, a rationalization of the instrument’s layout, and the addition of a computerized solid state controlling system. Seven new ranks of pipes were added to the instrument, including a new 8' Trumpet in the Great and a wooden 16' Posaune in the Pedal.
The organ has three-manuals (keyboards), 52 ranks (a group of pipes encompassing every note on the keyboard), and 3,168 pipes total. The organ also has chimes and a zimbelstern. The organ console is equipped with 100 levels of memory.
