The 2015 rebuild included a new console, a new control system and completely new facade pipes as well as a new brass trompette-en-chamade. The old Moller and Reuter components were replaced by Austin materials. All voicing was returned to Austin standards. All the work was carried out by Austin Organs, INC. Hartford. The console can be moved, thanks to an elevator lift that was installed as part of this project, to the elevated stage area for concert performances.
