ORGAN IN ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL, BUFFALO, N. Y.
This instrument, built by the Hope-Jones Organ Company and opened
Christmas, 1908, in one of the finest churches in America, takes
position among the great and important organs of the New World. It is
built on the "Unit" principle, and is divided between the extreme ends
of the lofty structure.
The chancel organ, consisting of four extended stops, occupies the old
organ chamber, which opens into the chancel and the transept of the
church. This portion of the instrument stands in a cement swell box,
its tone being thrown through the arch and into the chancel by means of
reflectors. It contains a Diaphone, the full organ being very
powerful, although its various tones can be reduced to whispers by
closing the laminated lead shutters, which are electrically controlled
through the general swell pedal at the console.
