Lancaster, December 24, 1770. Yesterday we had the pleasure
of hearing for the first time, the new organ, in the High
Dutch Reformed Church of this place, accompanied with a
variety of vocal music, composed on the occasion, which, I
may venture to say, not only from my own experience, but the
approbation of those present, was never equalled in any
place of worship in this province, or perhaps upon this
continent. The organ was made by Mr. David Tannenberg of
Litia, a Moravian town not far from this place and I dare
venture to assert, is much superior in workmanship, and
sweetness of sound, to any made by the late celebrated Mr.
Feyering, who was so justly taken notice of for his
ingenuity; does great honour to the makes; is worth the
attention and notice of curious, who may happen to pass this
way; and [?] undoubtedly recommend him to all who are [?] of
having works of that nature.
