The Schantz organ in Dana Chapel was originally built in 1961 for the Lower Church of the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Newark, N.J. In 1978, the organ was purchased by Madison Avenue Presbyterian, and was installed in September 1978 by Ronald C. Bishop, the area Schantz representative. This instrument replaced an Allen electronic organ from the 1960s, which replaced a Hammond electronic dating from the renovation of the chapel in 1949.
