Notes
2006-11-13 - Identified through online information from Wayne Johnson. -Database Manager
2006-11-14 - Updated through online information from Wayne Johnson. -- Organ installed by church members led by Sture Olson from 1959-1981 using about 30 ranks from the 1913 Frazee organ at the Harvard Club in Boston. Additional pipework came from the previous church building in Lynn which was a 2 manual Mason & Hamlin pipe organ. 4 ranks are from other sources. -Database Manager
2006-11-16 - Updated through online information from Wayne Johnson. -Database Manager
2007-08-19 - Updated through online information from don belben. -- Organ installed by Sture Olson with nominal help from church members. Mr Olson was also an inventor, designing and building windchests, misc. tools, and a single-person tuning system, allowing all stops to be tuned from the chamber. This design he asked to be kept confidential. -Database Manager
2013-07-17 - Updated through online information from Samuel Nelson. -- I am an organist at Washington Street Baptist Church in Lynn. The organ at First Lutheran is no longer there and has been replaced with an electronic. -Database Manager
2021-12-03 - During the Summer of 2019, I salvaged the console from Lemieux Pipe Organ Co. in Argyle, NY. It has been rewired and refurbished and now plays my residence organ in Derry, NH. https://pipeorgandatabase.org/organ/68641 -Wayne Johnson
