The new pipe organ replaces a Moller instrument built 1964. The instrument was in need of substantial repairs when a decision was made to look into the procurement of a new instrument. The new instrument cost is stated as $839,600 not counting modifications to the building that were made in conjunction with the installation. The Peragallo Pipe Organ Company was founded in 1918 by Mr. John Peragallo, Sr., who originally developed his craft as an apprentice with the famous E.M. Skinner Organ ompany. Operated now by third and fourth generations of the Peragallo family. They are based in Patterson, NJ.
