Updated through on-line information from Ronald D. Gibson. -- This Silbermann-style organ was restored in 2004 by a combined group of organ students from both The Oberlin Conservatory of Music and The Eastman School of Music under the supervision of Mr. Rob Kerner. It was installed in Asbury First United Methodist Church in Rochester, New York, where it currently remains as one of the teaching, rehearsal and concert organs for The Eastman School.
Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Tonally, the organ is based upon the Silbermann organ at Grosshartmannsdorf. Vertical space did not allow placement of the 2nd manual division over the first as an Oberwerk like the organ at Grosshartmannsdorf. So the structure/layout are based on Silbermanns at Reinhardtsgrimma, Crostau, and Nassau - with the 2nd manual division installed behind the first manual as a Hinterwerk.
Status Note: There 1996.
Damaged by water Feb 1993. Silberman style. Waiting in New Hampshire to be restored by Bozeman as of 1996.
