I apologize for the jerkiness. This was taken on my old iPhone 4, after I got it. At that time, Apple had not made improvements to the video capturing.
As I understand it, this console is original from the most recent rebuild. (1954 I believe.)
Nice music; it's not the picture quality that's a problem, but I got seasick the way you kept jerking from spot to spot rapidly. The console appears to be a much newer replacement console.
@Organgrinder1010 Yes it certainly is in remarkably good shape. I have been amazed. I guess it's a testament to Moller's build quality. My friend Peter is the organist here. He's a talented guy, and fellow music student in the Buffalo area.
@goodchappy I'm sure this might be a reason. Although at this time in history, along with architectural trends, and the trends of this denomination, most of their pipe organs were screened. However, you are correct that many folks do not realize it is there.
What a shame a wonderful ORGAN is this manitude goes unplayed and unkept. I wish I could OWN it.

It's in remarkably good shape considering how little care it's been given. Well-played. Lovely room, too.

Unusual that the organ pipes are not visible, maybe that is one reason why it is not played much....people don't realise it is there.

What a shame to see that one of Mother's churches had to be sold. What HAS happened to Christian Science, anyway??
Very EXCELLENT PLAYING!!! Who is the organist??
It will be a great pity if this instrument is not maintained to see what the style of organ design was in the 30's.
