Odell & Company New York City (1895) Mechanical action 2 manuals, 10 stops, 8 ranks The Odell organ now in St. David's Episcopal Church was originally built in 1895 for the Presbyterian Church, 111th Avenue between Jamaica and Atlantic Avenues, in Woodhaven, Queens. The organ's case is approximately 16 feet high, 6 feet deep, and 10 feet wide. In 1975, when the church was slated to be razed, the organ was moved to the Protestant Chapel (built 1966) at John F. Kennedy International Airport where it was installed by Allen Dreyfuss. The organ remained at JFK until the chapel was torn down in 1989. Mr. Dreyfuss removed and carefully packed the organ for storage, where it remained for three years. In 1992, the organ was reinstalled by Mr. Dreyfuss in St. David's Church.                 Great Organ (Manual I) – 58 notes 8   Open Diapason 58 8   Stopped Diapason Bass 12 8   Melodia [TC] 46 4   Principal * 58 8   Dulciana [TC] 46   * marked Flute 4' on drawknob but pipes appear to be original             Swell Organ (Manual II) – 58 notes 8   Stopped Diapason [TC] 46 4   Rohrflute 58 8   Salicional [TC] 46   Tremolo 8   Stopped Diapason Bass 12                     Pedal Organ – 27 notes 16   Bourdon 27         Sources:      Benoit, Thania.
