- The Noack firm built a new organ for the Church of the Redeemer in Chestnut Hill in 1989. The interior of the church was designed by Henry Vaughan in the late nineteenth century. This organ was removed in 2017, and relocated to Saint Paul's Chapel in New York City.
- A new organ was constructed in 2016-2018 by the Schoenstein Company. The new organ has a different location, on the corner of the nave and the choir of the church. The organ case is designed following the case of the Harrison & Harrison organ of 1912 in the church of Saint Mary Redcliffe in Bristol, UK. Consultants during the work were Michael S. Murray and Sean O'Donnell. The new organ was dedicated on May 6, 2018.
