Notes

2007-10-24 - Identified through online information from Don Belben. -- This organ was primarily designed by the (late) noted consultant, Edward (Ned) Gammons of Groton School, Groton, Massachusetts. The organ's five divisions are: Great, Swell, Choir, Positiv, and Pedal. The church has a modern design with a fairly high ceiling, which allows for a good acoustic. -Database Manager
