Notes

2012-04-29 - Updated through online information from The Very Rev. Richard E. Simpson. -- I am the Rector of St. Mark's Church in Islip, NY and I donate my services at St John's in Oadale, saying a Mass there monthly. I try to bring along a music and we use the Organ for congregational singing. A very long time ago, and electric blower was added, but it appears to be in near original condition and with it original voicing. -Database Manager

2012-04-29 - Updated through online information from Stuart Chamberlain. -- The organ is in original condition, except that an electric blower has been added. I have played this organ twice in the last month during services at St. John's. -Database Manager
