Notes

2007-09-04 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2015-09-13 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. -- As of September 8, 2015, this organ is offered for sale on Craigslist from a private residence near New Paltz, New York.<br><br>The advertisement says, "The organ was built for the Methodist Church in Minton, NY. It has been in our house for over 50 years. It has not played in 25 years."<br><br>The photos show a 2 manual, oak formerly attached console now standing near the windchests. The organ had not been electrified, but the lead tubes from the tubular pneumatic action had been replaced with plastic tubing. The stop action is Estey's series of stop keys shaped like manual keys. Pressing the white key brings on a stop and pressing the adjacent black key cancels it. The photos imply the organ is in reasonable condition, though not playable. -Database Manager
