he Hope-Jones Organ Company and opened
Christmas, 1908, in one of the finest churches in America, takes
position among the great and important organs of the New World. It is
built on the "Unit" principle, and is divided between the extreme ends
of the lofty structure.

The chancel organ, consisting of four extended stops, occupies the old
organ chamber, which opens into the chancel and the transept of the
church. This portion of the instrument stands in a cement swell box,
its tone being thrown through the arch and into the chancel by means of
reflectors. It contains a Diaphone, the full organ being very
powerful, although its various tones can be reduced to whispers by
closing the laminated lead shutters, which are electrically controlled
through the general swell pedal at the console.

The other division of the instrument, the organ proper, is located in
the gallery at the distant end of the nave of the church, and in an
adjacent room. This gallery division, complete in itself, represents
the latest type of Unit organ. Speaking generally, all the stops are
common to all four manuals, and to the pedals, and can be drawn at
various pitches. Following more or less the analogy of the orchestra,
the organ is divided into four distinct portions, each enclosed in its
own cement swell box with its laminated lead shutters, controlled
electrically from the console swell pedals. These divisions represent,
respectively: "Foundation," "wood wind," "string" and "brass."

The entire instrument is played from one console, located in the nave,
connected with the chancel organ by an electric cable sixty feet in
length, and with the gallery organ by one of one hundred and sixty
feet. This key desk is of the well-known Hope-Jones type, which
appeals so strongly to most organists. It contains all the latest
conveniences: Stop-keys, in semi-circular position above the manuals;
combination keys, which move the stop-keys (with switch-board within
easy reach for changing the selection of stops); suitable bass tablets,
saving time and worry to the player; double touch, offering its wealth
of tonal effects, etc. Through the operation of a small tablet the
organs can be played separately or together.
