The foundation of the Pedal is the original Möller Subbass, placed on new chests to allow for better placement and adjustment of power. The 8’ Principal (the tallest 7 of which are in the left façade) is entirely new, and is available at 4’ to support cantus firmus. A 16’ extension of the Great Trumpet rounds out the additions to the division. The Pedal is further filled out through selective borrowing of manual stops.

We would like to thank the members of Orange Congregational Church who made this project possible, including all the donors, the Organ Committee, and the pastoral staff. We would like to most especially thank the church members that worked closely with us and waited so patiently in order to make the project a success: Bradford Elker, Bradford Gesler, Ronald Barber, Minister Stoddon G.N. King and Church Organist Bryan Campbell.
