Built by: Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company (1941) - opus 1007
In 1940/1941 bouwde de Aeolian-Skinner Company onder leiding van G. Donald Harrison een nieuw orgel voor Christ Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Het orgel, opus 1007 van de firma, kreeg al snel een bekende naam, vanwege het bijzondere karakter van het instrument. Ondanks dat bleek het te groot voor het kerkgebouw. In 2006/2007 bouwde de firma Schoenstein een geheel nieuw orgel voor de kerk. Het oude werd verkocht aan de Saint Theresa Roman Catholic Church in Sugar Land, Texas. De firma Quimby voerde een revisie uit en plaatste het orgel over. De dispositie werd op enkele punten gewijzigd.
