In 1996, Dobson Pipe Organ Builders rebuilt the 1959 Schlicker organ. Many prepared-for stops were completed, and a new Solo division took the place of the unrealized Brustwerk. Dobson consolidated the two Greats and two Pedals by moving Great II into the place formerly occupied by Pedal I, and moving Pedal I into Great II's former position. Dobson also built a new four-manual Schlicker-style console that is movable.
Database Manager on October 15th, 2014:
The instrument was rededicated at the morning Eucharist on September 15, 1996, and was featured that afternoon in a recital by John Scott, Organist and Director of Music at St. Paul-s Cathedral in London, to an audience of over 2,000 people, echoing the record crowd of the 1959 dedication.
