- In 1906, a new organ was installed in Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church in Wilmington, Delaware, by C.S. Haskell. This organ was replaced with a new organ by the Möller Company in the years 1945-1948, retaining only a small number of ranks from 1906. The Möller organ was enlarged with an antiphonal organ in 1957. For the church of Saint Matthew, the Möller Company built a new organ in 1955.
- When both congregation were united, and the only building in use was Saint Andrew's, now called the Episcopal Church of SS. Andrew and Matthew. The organ was rebuilt and sincerely enlarged by Quimby Pipe Organs in 2016-2017. The Möller organ of Saint Andrew was used as the base, some ranks of the Möller of Saint Matthew were taken over. The new organ could be inaugurated on February 25, 2017, with a concert by Ken Cowan.
