Jeff Scofield on June 22nd, 2021:
From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: In the early 1970s, the cathedral desired a portable organ that could be easily moved to any location on the nave floor. Such an organ was designed by Th. Kuhn Orgelbau of Männedorf, Switzerland, but was actually built by Casavant Frères of St. Hyacinthe, Québec. All of the manual stops were contained in a plain oak case, behind which was the Pedal Bourdon. Horizontal levers under the keyboard controlled the manual stops while the pedal Bourdon and coupler were activated by hitch-down foot pedals. Although the factory specifications are dated March 12, 1971, documentation inside the organ stated that it was built in March 1972. In 2009, following the reopening of the cleaned and restored cathedral, the organ was relocated to the north choir aisle. In 2010, the organ was sold and moved to the chapel of St. Anthony Roman Catholic High School in South Huntington, L.I.
