Hagerstown, Md. – Opus 880 (1908)
Electro-pneumatic action
3 manuals, 29 stops, 31 ranks


The handwritten entry in the M.P. Möller contract book, dated March 18, 1908, states that a three-manual organ of 44 registers would be installed "on or before September 20, 1908. Positively." Möller further agreed to pay the city $10 for "each and every day the time consumed in completing the work ay exceed the time hereinbefore allowed for that purpose." The organ was shipped on July 27, 1908, so it is assumed that the instrument was completed on time. Total cost of the organ was $6,875, plus an $225 extra for a wood screen.
