Pianos
Our church facility is blessed with a number of fine pianos. The chapel houses a Steinway upright piano. The sanctuary piano is a unique piano, built in the 1920’s by the Mason & Hamlin firm. Donated by the Barnes family, this piano has a completely refurbished and usable player mechanism, which allows the piano to “play itself” from an extensive library of piano rolls.
