Aeolian-Votey (New Jersey)
Opus 1662, 1928

Replaced by Schantz #650 in 1964; Contract #650 was originally installed with new Great, Choir, Positiv and Pedal divisions comprising 50 ranks, with the original 18-rank Swell and 8-rank Solo Aeolian divisions reconnected, for a total of 76 ranks at initial completion; in 1969, Contract 885 was for Schantz to install a new Swell division and two new replacement Pedal Bombarde units of larger scale than the 1964 pipework, one a full-length 32-16 and the other at 8-4; contract #1693 provided for three independent Trompette en Chamade stops at 16-8-4 installed with the bottom octave of the 32' Bourdon in the south transept. Schantz's contributions resulted in 75 ranks. Over the years since 1964 church member and retired American Airlines captain Dick Doverspike contracted thru other builders, primarily Mac Range, to make further additions to the instrument. The prepared-for Gallery divisions have not been installed.
