Notes

2004-10-30 - From unknown location 1908. -Database Manager

2005-06-02 - According to James Stettner, playable, but in need of a good rebuilding. Leather pull-down links disintegrating. -Database Manager

2006-11-04 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This is an original installation. It was not relocated from anywhere. The choir loft in which the organ is erected was added to the church in 1907-08 in preparation to receive the organ. All three unison couplers are achieved by On/Off finger pistons placed in the keyslips. The façade pipes were originally stencilled in colors and gold, but have since been painted a flat medium blue color. The 3-sectional façade contains 25 pipes arranged: 7-11-7. All 25 pipes are speaking pipes from 3-19 of the Great 8' Open Diapason and 1-8 of the Great 4' Octave. -Database Manager

2013-02-18 - Updated through online information from William Bayes. -- I played the instrument about 4 years ago (2009) and it is still in desperate need of restoration. I was informed that it is rarely played any more - no one in the community to play it. A rare gem! -Database Manager

2013-06-13 - Updated through online information from jeffray fox. -- I played a recital on this organ in April, 2013. I did some tuning and re-connected the air gauge to the manual pump. The blower is in need of servicing and a good cleaning. We actually used the manual pump for one number. The organ does need work but it was a joy to play and it had only one dead note and this is A-1 on the Swell. A very nice instrument. -Database Manager
