Notes

2007-06-30 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2008-01-30 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was essentially electrified "intact" by Austin on new Austin Universal windchests in 1946 as that firm's Opus 2083. Only very minor tonal changes were made. In 2002, the Austin/Estey organ was replaced with a new Reuter. A private party purchased the organ which they subsequently moved to North Bend, Washington. Late in 2007, the organ was offered for sale and was broken up for parts. -Database Manager
