By 2013, the Church’s 1930 Austin organ, located in Tittle Chapel, had fallen into significant disrepair, and either needed a full overhaul and rebuilding or a replacement. A hybrid solution was devised to include some of the original pipe ranks with the addition of a Rogers digital console and 40 plus ranks of simulated pipe tones. A new, traditional Great division was added in the Chapel balcony as well. The resulting instrument is a tremendous advance of tonal quality and range for organ music in this unique worship space.
