Gallery Organ


THE LOENING-HANCOCK ORGAN

In the spring of 1996, the new gallery instrument was dedicated as the Loening-Hancock Organ. The firm of Taylor & Boody of Staunton, Virginia, built the instrument, which contains twenty-one stops over two manuals and pedal. The instrument is inspired by the tradition of organ building that was active in the Netherlands and North Germany in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Stop and key action are mechanical and the temperament is Kellner.
