Notes
2007-10-11 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the moving and reinstallation of the parish's existing 1897 Thomas Whalley tracker. It was installed in the front, right corner of the room just as it had been in the previous edifice. The facade contains 19 gold-painted pipes in a simple fence and this includes the first 12 pipes of the 8' Open Diapason. The Open Diapason, Stopd Diapason, and Octave are all divided into treble (34) and bass (24). The Dulciana is full compass but not divided. The action goes from key/sticker to two square rails mounted and angled to function like a backfall. Pedal key action is tracker from square rails to the chest rollerboard. Pedal stop action is ventil. In August 1985, Howard Bennett substituted a 2' register for the Dulciana - which was placed in storage in the furnace room. The stop label was not altered to reflect the change. I played the organ in 1994, at which time it was still in use. -Database Manager
2009-09-06 - Updated through online information from Howard Bennett. -- The organ was first installed in Trinity Episcopal in 1892. That building was later moved (with the organ) and became the University Chapel, where St. Stephen's parish was formed. When that building was sold to another congregation, Bill Baker installed the reconditioned organ in St. Stephen's (West 7th) in 1965. -Database Manager
2018-05-18 - Updated through email from Howard Bennett. — " I removed that organ from St. Stephen-s 15 years ago as they replaced it with a unified Zimmer. The organ was stored for 2 years, then I installed the instrument in St. Mark-s Episcopal Church, Tonopah, Nevada. That installation was in 2005/06. The instrument is intact and played regularly." -Database Manager
2018-05-19 - Updated by Howard Bennett, who maintains the organ. -Database Manager
