Notes
2007-09-20 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager
2023-10-01 - According to a PowerPoint presentation on the parish Facebook page, the organ was refurbished in 1971 by the Newman Organ Co. -Jim Stettner
2024-08-26 - The keydesk pneumatics were restored in 2015 by the Bedient Pipe Organ Company. As of September, 2019 the wind reservoir had ruptured. There were an increasing number of dead notes, particularly when coupled. This was likely due to a damaged gasket or leaking manifold. The organ is not playable as a result. Funds are not available for restoration.
