I recently visited St. Mary's Church in Mt. Angel and recorded these images of a display in their vestibule. The existing Möller is being combined with the Gress-Miles instrument formerly located in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Portland. The project is proceeding under the auspices of Bond Organ Shop, Portland, and will include a new 3 manual console in the transept in addition to the 2 manual console in the gallery. The project is expected to be completed by Easter of 2026.
