Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1996. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - From Baptist, Oakland, ME; via Opgenorth barn,Templeton, MA . Purchased by Hagberg in 1986. -Database Manager

2008-02-28 - Updated through on-line information from David Hagberg. -- The Hamill from Oakland, Maine listed as "destroyed" is in fact alive and in use at my home in Sterling, Mass. I bought it from Ed Opgenorth of Templeton, MA ca. 1986. The instrument does not have all its original pipework. The pedal was enlarged to 27 notes, using half-length 16' wooden pipes from a Möller theatre organ. The manual oboe is from the dismantled George Reed from Emmanuel Lutheran in Worcester. The dulciana was replaced with a rank of unknown provenance labelled "Spec Gamba." -Database Manager

2015-11-29 - Updated through online information from John Igoe. -- A November 2015 entry on Ebay shows this instrument for sale for $3,000. -Database Manager
