2015-12-04 - Updated through online information from Michael Monaco. -- I am the keyboardist for Colonial Williamsburg, and the organ has been conserved, and is currently fully playable and in regular use. The pitch is approx. A-420, and the organ consists of flues at 8, 4, 2, and there is a two-rank mixture of 1 1/3 and 1. There is a machine stop activated by a hitch down pedal to cut off the top ranks for an echo effect. The organ is manually pumped either by the player with an iron foot treadle in front, or by an assistant using a side pedal. -Database Manager
