The Gainesville instrument, a 1925 Skinner, revised by Aeolian-Skinner in the 1960's, was restored in 1992 by Moeller, and our performances come from the Dedication Gala of March 1993. The new organ at Tallahassee's historic First Presbyterian Church was built in German Baroque fashion by the Virginia shop of Taylor & Boody and dedicated in January 1993.
