2004-10-30 - Carnegie organ. Compass 61/30. [First Presbyterian on Fenton St.?] -Database Manager

2011-07-22 - Updated through online information from Benjamin Stone via Ryan J Boyle. -- Organ appears to be in original condition and maintained fairly well. There are missing key tops and draw knob faces, but otherwise the instrument is in tact. The original double rise reservoir was re-leathered in 2010 and a new electric blower was installed in 2011. Tremulant not functioning. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ is free-standing nd encased at the front of the room. The 5-sectional
facade contains 49 pipes arranged: 11-3-21-3-11. The keydesk is attached and
projecting with a lid that lifts to form a music rank. Stops are as drawknobs
in terraced jambs on either side of the manuals.

The Great 8' Open Diapason and Swell 4' Flauto Traverso were missing their
stop labels as of the 1970 OHS Convention.

The Great 8' Dulciana bass octve is grooved from the 8' Melodia. Similarly,
the Swell 8' Violin Diapason bass is grooved from the 8' Stopped Diapason.

The church has the original Moller contract. The contract specified that open
pipes from tenor F [note 18] down were to be of zinc, while others would be
at least 40% tin.

The organ was a gift of Andrew Carngie.
