Instruments

THE STERRITTE FAMILY ORGAN

The pipe organ was made possible by a generous gift of Marjorie Sterritte and family, and the Solo Organ and Grand Cornet were recently added through the generosity of Ruth McNeal. The 4,315 pipes, which now compromise the 57 stops and 75 ranks of pipes, produce an incredibly rich tonal palette.

The Solo Organ includes colorful reeds such as the English Horn, French Horn, and Tuba, as well as a Solo Diapason, Gamba Celeste, and Flauto Mirabilis. On top of this broad spectrum of sound, the entire organ is crowned by an elegant, yet bold, ﬁve-rank Grand Cornet.

THE FAZIOLI GRAND PIANO

Members and friends of Moorings Presbyterian Church gave generously to enable the church to purchase a handcrafted Fazioli F278 concert grand piano in April 2017.

The Fazioli Piano Company, established in 1981 in Sacile, Italy, is recognized for building the ﬁnest pianos available anywhere. We believe this instrument serves and enriches the larger community and further contributes to our resolve to serve God faithfully in our music and all of life.

THE STEINWAY GRAND PIANO

Members and friends of Moorings Presbyterian Church celebrate with gratitude the gift of a Steinway Model B grand piano, generously donated in February 2026 by Roger and Michele Burgis.

Crafted by Steinway & Sons and often regarded as the ideal balance of power and intimacy, the Model B is prized for its rich tonal palette and remarkable responsiveness. Now serving as our Choir Room piano, this instrument faithfully supports rehearsals and preparation, strengthening our choral ministry and enriching the life of worship within our congregation.

THE STEINWAY GRAND PIANO

Members and friends of Moorings Presbyterian Church received with gratitude the gift of a Steinway Model A grand piano in 1998, donated in loving memory of Dale and Marcia Darland.

Crafted by the renowned Steinway & Sons, a company long esteemed for its uncompromising standards of artistry and tone, the Model A is celebrated for its warmth, clarity, and expressive range. Now serving as our Chapel piano, this instrument faithfully supports worship, enriches our musical offerings, and stands as a lasting testament to the Darlands’ memory and their enduring love of music and the church.

THE YAMAHA GRAND PIANO

Members and friends of Moorings Presbyterian Church give thanks for the generous gift of a Yamaha Model C6 grand piano, donated in May 2025 by an anonymous individual.

Built by Yamaha Corporation and admired for its clarity, balance, and dependable performance, the Model C6 is well suited for both intimate gatherings and larger events. Now serving as the Moss Hall piano, this instrument enhances concerts, recitals, and community events, enriching the musical life of our church and all who gather within its walls.

HANDBELLS

Moorings’s storied handbell program was founded in the early 1980s by then Directors of Music Dick & Martha Crofts, and is now led by Thomas Sletto.

Through purchases and donations, the church is blessed to have a six and a half set of Malmark handbells, a second three-octave set of handbells, and a six and a half octave set of handchimes. The approximately 1,000 handbell titles in the music library help keep worship creative, diverse, and inspired, and point us to the glory of God.
