Hook & Hastings Co.
Boston, Mass. – Opus 2303 (1912)
Tubular-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 18 registers, 9 stops
The original organ for All Saints' Chapel was built in 1912 by the Hook & Hastings Co. of Boston, and installed behind a case designed by Thomas Nash, architect of the chapel. Surprisingly, the Trinity Church Archives has no information on this organ other than a letter from then-organist Larry King to the C.B. Fisk Organ Company, in which Mr. King describes the original instrument: "tubular pneumatic, and consisted of six 8' stops, two 4' stops and one 16' pedal flue."
Specifications for this organ have not yet been located. |
