From the Cathedral website: The great Cathedral organ which now serves St. Mark's has gone through a number of evolutions over the years. In 1928, a four-manual organ was installed by the Welte Organ Company. The instrument, designed by Charles Courboin, organist of St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City, and Stanley Avery, organist of St. Mark's from 1909 to 1949, was well-known for the breadth and beauty of its ensemble. An 8-foot trumpet was added to the Swell Organ by the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company during the tenure of Dr. Edward Berryman (1949-1959). The distinguished Canadian organist Gerald Bales, at St. Mark's from 1959 to 1971, supervised the addition of a four-manual console by M. P. Moller in 1961. In 1964, a complete rebuilding was carried out by the Moller Company. Twenty-five ranks were retained from the 1928 Welte organ. (Several Welte ranks were stored in the bell tower - Ed.) The original wind chests were rebuilt, with the exception of the great wind chests which were replaced with new lower-pressure chests. The M.P. Möller Company The Cathedral Church of St Mark.
