1923 M.P. MOLLER PIPE ORGAN

Grace's "Mighty Moller" was originally installed as part of Grace Chapel's 1922 rebuild.  The M.P. Moller Opus 3592 organ served the congregation unaltered for 90 years, until it's first renovation in 2013, at which point it was completely removed, restored, and added a floating division of pipes at the rear of the nave, as well as additional ranks in the main pipe chamber.

ORIGINAL SPECIFICATION

The original build of the organ consisted of electro-pneumatic technology, with 11 ranks of pipe in a fully enclosed chancel chamber and a blower located 2 floors below in a sub-basement.  

The original console, in use from 1923 - 2013.

RESTORATION AND EXPANSION

In April 2013, Grace stepped out in faith to rebuild and expand the organ to meet the worship and music needs of our growing congregation. The Steiner-Murphy Organ Company of Cumberland, Maryland began the restoration on April 8, 2013 with complete removal of the pipes and console. The organ was taken to Cumberland for extensive cleaning and restoration work. The restoration included rebuilding and re-leathering the existing windchests and pipes, installation of a reconditioned console, solid state technology, midi technology, and integration of a 9-rank 1909 Estey Organ donated to us from Mr. Dean Jestes.

In September of 2013, Phase one of our installation began with the installation of a new 3-rank nave organ, located in the rear gallery.  This antiphonal division is controlled from the chancel console and is not under expression.

Phase two consisted of rebuilding the chancel pipe chamber.  The chamber was stripped down to the bare stone, framed, insulated and rebuilt with acoustic concrete panel walls and water channels in the ceiling to avoid damage.

Phase three -- re-installation of the main chancel organ began in January 2014 and was completed and dedicated on March 2, 2014.
