2022-05-25 - In 1907, the church was given another new organ, a three-manual electropneumatic instrument by Hutchings-Votey Organ Co. of Boston (Op. 2075). It incorporated pipework from the previous Hutchings instrument. Placed in the rear gallery, it had an ornate Gothic case. In 1914, Frank Foss, who soon thereafter moved his firm from Newton, MA, to New Bedford, enlarged the Pedal division. He added a Contra Bourdon 32' outside the tower chamber, on either side of the facade casework, and built new matching casework to house it. Once again, the church had the biggest and best organ in the city. According to the dedication program (Allan W. Swan, organist) of Thursday, April 25, 1907: Compass of Manuals: C to c'"' 61 notes Compass of Pedals: CC to f 30 notes Pedals concaved and radiating A.G.O. pattern International Pitch Electro-pneumatic action -- *2005 OHS Handbook* [see also stoplist tab -- ed.] -Paul R.
