Notes

2005-03-01 - Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in <i>The Hook Opus List 1829-1935</i>, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991). -Database Manager

2020-05-19 - I performed on this organ for the 2010 OHS Convention. My memory serves me that the entire organ is enclosed in two chambers, right and left of the chance behind screens. There are two expression pedals for Sw and Gr. I cannot recall if there is a Cresc pedal. There are no visible facade pipes. The organ was in useable condition at the time of the 2010 convention though some better and more regular maintenance would certainly help. -Andrew Scanlon
