Builder: Gress-Miles Organ Co., 1980. Manuals: 3 Ranks: 38 Action: Electro-mechanical Notes: This instrument was positioned in a rear choir balcony in the original cathedral building. Online document from the Cathedral Organ Committee: http://customers.hbci.com/~cathedra/html/organ_update.html indicates that none of the companies consulted were willing to transplant the existing Gress-Miles organ "as is," to the new cathedral building. The builders were disinclined to incorporate the pipework in a new instrument, based on the small scales and existing voicing. The Cathedral later chose a new Reuter for the Cathedral and Reuter reportedly pledged to incorporate as much of the Gress-Miles as could be artistically done. One possibility was suggested to use the Gress-Miles as the basis for an Antiphonal organ. Jeff Scofield and Organ Historical Society as of 2020.
