Builder: John Gale Marklove (1871), Utica, NY Ranks: 19 Action: Mechanical Price: $4000 Weight: 8500 lbs First played: 18 June 1871 Notes: "Although the organ as a whole is a very fine instrument, and by the strong, resonant voicing of the pipes in the Great Organ, is admirably adapted to choral singing used in the service of the Cathedral, yet the height of the builder's success has been reached in the Swell, which is pronounced by those who are judges, one of the finest to be found anywhere. It is fine and delicate, yet powerful, in quality, and is capable of a thrilling effect in the hands of the performer, as it commences like the low whisperings of a harmony in the far off distance and approaches nearer and nearer, steadily gathering strength and power, until it breaks with an almost bewildering flood of richness and grandeur upon the ear."
