In 1860 the main consignment of parts from Germany arrived at Hull. Much of the construction took place in the church itself where Edmund Schulze together with four or five men worked on the project for two years. One observer reputedly noted that the large 32 foot principal was cleverly made from the wooden packing cases of the shipment itself. According to Rogers, Schulze spent three weeks regulating and finishing the mixtures working from the early hours of the morning until midnight and sleeping on the bellows before resuming his labours. The new organ was dedicated at a service on 24 September 1862.
