Notes

2005-06-16 - Identified through information in *Descriptive Catalogue of Superior Church Organs Manufactured by Geo. H. Ryder & Co.*, published in Boston, January, 1896. Dates are not included in the publication; the one given here is conjectural. -Database Manager

2008-05-23 - Updated through on-line information from Daniel Hopkins. -- This Organ was replaced with a 2 manual tubular-pneumatic Karn pipe organ. I am quite certain that this instrument was later rebuilt or renovated by Casavant. I will get more info when I return there this summer. Actually I will go to all of the churches in Charlottetown and get the organ specs and info. The facade of the original Karn pipe organ still exists. I will send a picture. It is impressive. -Database Manager
