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 all 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 Litis, 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. Fryering who
was so justly taken notice of for his ingenuity; does great
honour to the maker; is worth the attention and notice of
the curious, who may happen to pass this way; and will
undoubtedly recommend him to all who are desirous of having
works of that nature.
