Jeff Scofield on September 12th, 2023:
In the Summer of 2023 the console was moved to the floor at the front of the nave; a replacement console, identical except for the intricate shell carving, replaced it in the original position to the left of the choir.

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. <br>Identified by Sam Cherubin, listing this web site as a source of information: http://www.dobsonorgan.com/html/instruments/op93_newyork.html.<br>This is a completely brand new instrument, retaining only 10 stops from the previous Aeolian-Skinner/G.F Adams/Mann & Trupiano Organ. A new south chancel case was built and the existing 1913 Skinner case on the north chancel was renovated and the facade pipes were polished. <br><br>The new Dobson organ utilizes both the north and south organ chambers. With the Great and Positive divisions in the new south case, and Swell, Choir, Solo & Pedal in the 1913 north case. The Trompette en Chamade remained in its original location above the doors to Fifth Ave below the rose window.<br><br>The organ console was gutted with new electronics, stop jambs and keyboards while retaining the historic 1913 Skinner organ shell.
