  • Charles B. Fisk built a large organ for the Harvard University Memorial Hall in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA in the years 1963-1967. Consultants were Edward Power Biggs, Edward W. Flint, Daniel Pinkham and Donald Willing. The organ was completed on December 3, 1967. It was one of the first large organs to be built by an American builder according to the classical organ building principles.
  • The organ was sold in 2011. It has been transferred by the Fisk company to Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas. It seems that the re-installation is still not carried out in 2021.
