Paul R. Marchesano on November 13th, 2024:
Updated through online information from Rev. Scott Siciliano (November 12, 2024): My last submitted edit may be partially incorrect regarding the status of this instrument-- the church's website states that the Hutchings-Votey instrument is still extant and playing and that Moller only rebuilt the console in 1940. However, at the time of my visit in 2005 I had saved (with the church's permission) a small number of various discarded pipes from the attic to artistically repurpose. I only still retain three flute pipes- two open Melodia pipes, and one treble stopped diapason-- both of which appear to be of H-V construction, not Moller--- so it is very likely that Moller made tonal modifications and/or replacements to the original instrument (as they were so often wont to do) when they replaced the console.

Jim Stettner on November 13th, 2024:
Updated through online information from Rev. Scott Siciliano (November 12, 2024): This instrument is no longer extant. I visited this church many years ago (ca. 2005) and the church contained at that time a small Moller instrument. I recall there was, beside the organ chamber door in the church's attic, a large pile of severely mangled, discarded pipework of varying types---the sad remains of this instrument.
