DETAILS
The pipe organ in the Old Post Chapel was built by the M.P. Möller Company of Hagerstown, Maryland in 1935, the year of the chapel’s dedication. The tonal design and voicing was by Richard O. Whitelegg, Tonal Director of Möller. -- Information received via email from Christopher J. Hoh, 2025-06-09
Paul R. Marchesano on June 10th, 2025:
The fourth console was installed by Lewis and Hitchcock in 2024, and Walker digital additions were installed. -- Information received via email by Christopher J. Hoh, 2025-06-09
There are no longer any Allen components to the instrument. In 2001, an Allen console was installed, together with Allen digital stops (including a digital Positiv division). The console, the Allen tone generators, amplifiers and speakers were all removed in 2024. A new console was installed with Walker Technical digital sounds as indicated on the document. Nothing by Allen remains.
Pipework is 1935 Moller/Whitelegg, except for the Cromorne on the Swell and the 8’ Trumpet on the Great, which were Tellers additions.
