Jim Stettner on October 30th, 2025:
This entry represents the installation of a used organ by its original builder. Identified by phone call with Rev. Allison Reid [October 29, 2025]. This organ was originally built by Dr. James Hammann for Chapel of the Holy Comforter Episcopal in New Orleans. It was previously described on John Demajo's *New Orleans Churches* website as, "Pipe organ built by church organist and retired University Of New Orleans faculty member Dr. James Hammann. The organ is actually an assembly of recycled and refurbished components representing several major American builders who were active in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The case is from a small instrument built by the Farrand and Votey Company for an Episcopal church in North Carolina." The Chapel has ceased operations, and the organ was happily relocated here to St. Anna's Episcopal by Dr. Hammann in 2025.
