2023-05-20 - From St. John's organ history: The Austin Organ Company of Hartford was chosen to build a two manual tubular-pneumatic instrument of fourteen ranks, eight of which were retained from the 1861 Hook organ in the original edifice. Both Hook instruments in the Hartford church had been financed by subscription but the first West Hartford organ was the memorial gift of two brothers, John O. Enders and Dr. Thomas B. Enders. The new 1909 organ, Austin’s Opus 231, was installed in the present chamber in the left side of the chancel at a cost of $3,850. The organ cases were handsome in appearance and contained several speaking pipes. The large scaled sixteen foot Open Wood pipes were attached to the sloped ceiling of the chamber as they are in the current installation. The organ continued to give reliable service for many years when, in 1945, the builders supplied a new console, swell shade engine, fan tremolo and generator, and electrified the original tubular stop action. -Scott Lamlein
