Notes

2004-10-30 - From previous building, c. 1906. Restored Steiner 1983, 2-15. Form 6/92 stop list. -Database Manager

2008-03-22 - Updated through online information from Walter W. Smith. -- If Steiner restored this organ then it seems they were in accord with Principles of OHS. I could detect no apparent changes, appeared to be in original condition, and stop list was very typical of the era. Buried in a side chancel chamber with beautiful facade, it sounded a bit muted and may need some reservoir repairs. Did not have time to gain access to the chamber. -Database Manager

2022-01-10 - I attended worship here today and played the organ briefly after the service. -Dennis Steckley
