Notes

2007-09-27 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was an action modification of the parish's existing 1860 E. & G.G. Hook organ, Opus 266. It isn't entirely clear how extensive this was. Notes in the dedication program for the 1966 Andover organ state, "At that time, tubular pneumatic mechanisms, which later proved to be much less durable than the original controls, were installed to the pedal and to a single row of stop tongues above the swell manual, the tongues replacing the original draw knobs which had been mounted on either side of the keyboard." This would seem to imply that the manuals key action remained mechanical, but with a T-P pedal key action and stop action. In 1964, the 1892 organ chamber was dismantled as was the organ, and the original Trinity Chapel was to became a transept in the new church. Disposition of the modified 1860 Hook is unknown. -Database Manager
