This Schlicker pipe organ was originally installed in St. Matthew's Church in Inwood, Manhattan, NY in 1956, the same year the church was built.  Unfortunately, the church is slated to be closed in July of 2006 and torn down, (along with the whole block) to make way for the construction of new condominiums.  Luckily, the pastor from St. Matthew's knew the pastor from Trinity Lutheran and was aware they were looking for a pipe organ to replace their aging electronic organ.  The removal would need to happen fast if the organ was going to be saved and we were able to make it happen.  We were recommended by the pastor at St. Luke's in Dix Hills for the job.          We recently removed the organ and console and delivered it to the new church.  View the slideshow to see the removal and delivery of the pipe organ.  It is in storage at the church now, we will be rebuilding it soon.
